The Human Cytomegalovirus DNA Polymerase Processivity Factor UL44 Is Modified by SUMO in a DNA-Dependent Manner
- Elisa Sinigalia, G. Alvisi, A. Loregian
- BiologyPLoS ONE
- 15 November 2012
It is shown that overexpression of SUMO alters the intranuclear distribution of UL44 in HCMV-infected cells, and enhances both virus production and DNA replication, arguing for an important role for sumoylation in H CMV life cycle and UL44 function(s).
