Abstract
Background Replication of viral genome is the central event during the lytic infectious cycle of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). However, the details of HSV-1 replication process are still elusive due to the limitations of current molecular and conventional fluorescent microscopy methods. Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is one of the recently available super-resolution techniques allowing observation at sub-diffraction resolution. Methods To gain new insight into HSV-1 replication, we used a combination of stimulated emission depletion microscopy, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunofluorescence (IF) to observe the HSV-1 replication process. Results Using two colored probes labeling the same region of HSV-1 genome, the two probes highly correlated in both pre-replication and replicating genomes. In comparison, when probes from different regions were used, the average distance between the two probes increased after the virus enters replication, suggesting that the HSV-1 genome undergoes dynamic structure changes from a compact to a relaxed formation and occupies larger space as it enters replication. Using FISH and IF, viral single strand binding protein ICP8 was seen closely positioned with HSV-1 genome. In contrast, ICP8 and host RNA polymerase II were less related. This result suggests that ICP8 marked regions of DNA replication are spatially separated from regions of active transcription, represented by the elongating form of RNA polymerase II within the viral replication compartments. Comparing HSV-1 genomes at early stage of replication with that in later stage, we also noted overall increases among different values. These results suggest stimulated emission depletion microscopy is capable of investigating events during HSV-1 replication. Conclusion 1) Replicating HSV-1 genome could be observed by super-resolution microscopy; 2) Viral genome expands spatially during replication; 3) Viral replication and transcription are partitioned into different sub-structures within the replication compartments.

Abstract
The UL84 gene of human cytomegalovirus is implicated in the initiation of viral DNA replication during lytic infection. UL84 is essential for replication of a cloned viral origin of lytic replication (oriLyt) in vitro and mutants of strains AD169 or Towne with deletions or insertions in UL84 fail to grow in cells permissive for wild type virus. Here we show that UL84 is dispensable for replication of a strain TB40/E clone derived from a bacterial artificial chromosome. The genomes of the fibroblast-adapted strains AD169 and Towne are altered substantially from the consensus for strains that have not been propagated extensively in cell culture. The parental TB40/E genome conforms to the consensus genomic organization. Accordingly, natural HCMV strains may possess replication capability that extends beyond the known oriLyt-dependent replication system of laboratory strains.

Abstract
The replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is associated with a high degree of homologous recombination, which is likely to be mediated, in part, by HSV-1-encoded proteins. We have previously shown that the HSV-1 encoded ICP8 protein and alkaline nuclease UL12 are capable of catalyzing an in vitro strand-exchange reaction. Here, we show, by electron microscopy, that the products of the strand exchange reaction between linear double-stranded DNA and circular single-stranded DNA consist of the expected joint molecule forms: sigma, alpha, and gapped circles. Other exonucleases, such as lambda Red alpha, which, like UL12, digests 5'-3', as well as Escherichia coli exonuclease III (ExoIII), which digests 3'-5', could substitute for UL12 in the strand exchange reaction by providing a resected DNA end. ICP8 generated the same intermediates and strand exchange products when the double-stranded DNA substrate was preresected by any of the nucleases. Using substrates with large regions of non-homology we found that pairing by ICP8 could be initiated from the middle of a DNA molecule and did not require a homologous end. In this reaction, the resection of a DNA end by the nuclease is required to reveal homologous sequences capable of being paired by ICP8. This study further illustrates the complexity of the multi-functional ICP8 protein.

Abstract
In many respects, HSV-1 is the prototypic herpes virus. However, HSV-1 also serves as an excellent model system to study genome transactions, including DNA replication, homologous recombination, and the interaction of DNA replication enzymes with DNA damage. Like eukaryotic chromosomes, the HSV-1 genome contains multiple origins of replication. Replication of the HSV-1 genome is mediated by the concerted action of several virus-encoded proteins that are thought to assemble into a multiprotein complex. Several host-encoded factors have also been implicated in viral DNA replication. Furthermore, replication of the HSV-1 genome is known to be closely associated with homologous recombination that, like in many cellular organisms, may function in recombinational repair. Finally, recent data have shed some light on the interaction of essential HSV-1 replication proteins, specifically its DNA polymerase and DNA helicases, with damaged DNA.

Abstract
Helicases play essential roles in many important biological processes such as DNA replication, repair, recombination, transcription, splicing, and translation. Many bacteriophages and plant and animal viruses encode one or more helicases, and these enzymes have been shown to play many roles in their respective viral life cycles. In this review we concentrate primarily on the roles of helicases in DNA replication and recombination with special emphasis on the bacteriophages T4, T7, and A as model systems. We explore comparisons between these model systems and the herpesviruses--primarily herpes simplex virus. Bacteriophage utilize various pathways of recombination-dependent DNA replication during the replication of their genomes. In fact the study of recombination in the phage systems has greatly enhanced our understanding of the importance of recombination in the replication strategies of bacteria, yeast, and higher eukaryotes. The ability to "restart" the replication process after a replication fork has stalled or has become disrupted for other reasons is a critical feature in the replication of all organisms studied. Phage helicases and other recombination proteins play critical roles in the "restart" process. Parallels between DNA replication and recombination in phage and in the herpesviruses is explored. We and others have proposed that recombination plays an important role in the life cycle of the herpesviruses, and in this review, we discuss models for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA replication. HSV-1 encodes two helicases. UL9 binds specifically to the origins of replication and is believed to initiate HSV DNA replication by unwinding at the origin; the heterotrimeric helicase-primase complex, encoded by UL5, UL8, and UL52 genes, is believed to unwind duplex viral DNA at replication forks. Structure-function analyses of UL9 and the helicase-primase are discussed with attention to the roles these proteins might play during HSV replication.

Abstract
2,5,6-Trichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl benzimidazole (TCRB) is a potent and selective inhibitor of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. TCRB acts via a novel mechanism involving inhibition of viral DNA processing and packaging. Resistance to the 2-bromo analog (BDCRB) has been mapped to the UL89 open reading frame (ORF), and this gene product was proposed as the viral target of the benzimidazole nucleosides. In this study, we report the independent isolation of virus that is 20- to 30-fold resistant to TCRB (isolate C4) and the characterization of the virus. The six ORFs known to be essential for viral DNA cleavage and packaging (UL51, UL52, UL56, UL77, UL89, and UL104) were sequenced from wild-type HCMV, strain Towne, and from isolate C4. Mutations were identified in UL89 (D344E) and in UL56 (Q204R). The mutation in UL89 was identical to that previously reported for virus resistant to BDCRB, but the mutation in UL56 is novel. Marker transfer analysis demonstrated that each of these mutations individually caused approximately 10-fold resistance to the benzimidazoles and that the combination of both mutations caused approximately 30-fold resistance. The rate and extent of replication of the mutants was the same as for wild-type virus, but the viruses were less sensitive to inhibition of DNA cleavage by TCRB. Mapping of resistance to UL56 supports and extends recent work showing that UL56 codes for a packaging motif binding protein which also has specific nuclease activity (E. Bogner et al., J. Virol. 72:2259-2264, 1998). Resistance which maps to two different genes suggests that their putative proteins interact and/or that either or both have a benzimidazole ribonucleoside binding site. The results also suggest that the gene products of UL89 and UL56 may be antiviral drug targets.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) UL15 gene encodes one of the six viral gene products required for viral DNA cleavage and packaging. UL15 is a spliced gene and encodes two separately translated proteins, UL15 and UL15.5. Sequence analysis reveals that UL15 shares homology with gp 17, the large catalytic subunit of the bacteriophage T4 terminase, a protein which cleaves the polymeric T4 DNA into monomers. Both proteins contain a putative ATP binding motif known as the Walker A and B boxes. In this report, immunofluorescence was used to show that UL15 localizes to the nucleus in the absence of any other viral proteins; this indicates that UL15 contains its own nuclear localization signal. In addition, we found that UL15 colocalizes with replication compartments at early times (6 h postinfection). Since, at this time, preformed capsids as well as other cleavage and packaging proteins are also recruited to replication compartments, it seems likely that cleavage and packaging occurs in the same compartments in which DNA synthesis occurs. Also in this report, we have investigated UL15.5, the N-terminally truncated gene product of the UL15 open reading frame (ORF). The start codon has been mapped to Met443 within the UL15 ORF. Furthermore, we have shown that plasmids containing a UL15.5 knockout mutation still complement the growth of UL15 insertion mutant viruses, indicating that UL15.5 is not required for viral growth in cell culture. Last, we constructed a UL15 mutant, UL15C(G263A), in which the invariant Gly263 in the Walker box A of the ATP binding motif (GKT) was substituted with an alanine. We show that the mutant gene fails to support the growth of UL15 insertion mutant viruses, indicating that the putative ATP binding motif of UL15 is indispensable for its function.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) UL15 gene is a spliced gene composed of two exons and is predicted to encode an 81-kDa protein of 735 amino acids (aa). Two UL15 gene products with molecular masses of 75 and 35 kDa have been observed (J. Baines, A. Poon, J. Rovnak, and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 68:8118-8124, 1994); however, it is not clear whether the smaller form represents a proteolytic cleavage product of the larger form or whether it is separately translated. In addition, an HSV-1 temperature-sensitive mutant in the UL15 gene (ts66.4) is defective in both cleavage of viral DNA concatemers into unit-length monomers and packaging of viral DNA into capsids (A. Poon and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 67:4497-4503, 1993; J. Baines et al., J. Virol. 68:8118-8124, 1994). In this study, we detected two UL15 gene products of 81 and 30 kDa in HSV-1-infected cells, using a polyclonal antibody raised against a maltose binding protein fusion construct containing UL15 exon 2. In addition, we report the isolation of two HSV-1 insertion mutants, hr81-1 and hr81-2, which contain an ICP6::lacZ insertion in UL15 exon 1 and exon 2 and thus would be predicted to encode C-terminally truncated peptides of 153 and 509 aa long, respectively. hr81-1 and hr81-2 are defective in DNA cleavage and packaging and accumulate only B capsids. However, both mutants are able to undergo wild-type levels of DNA replication and genomic inversion, suggesting that genomic inversion is a result of DNA replication rather than of DNA cleavage and packaging. We also provide evidence that the 81- and 30-kDa proteins are the products of separate in-frame translation events from the UL15 gene and that the 81-kDa full-length UL15 protein is required for DNA cleavage and packaging.

Abstract
The Herpesviridae comprise a large class of animal viruses of considerable public health importance. Of the Herpesviridae, replication of herpes simplex virustype-1 (HSV-1) has been the most extensively studied. The linear 152-kbp HSV-1 genome contains three origins of DNA replication and approximately 75 open-reading frames. Of these frames, seven encode proteins that are required for originspecific DNA replication. These proteins include a processive heterodimeric DNA polymerase, a single-strand DNA-binding protein, a heterotrimeric primosome with 5'-3' DNA helicase and primase activities, and an origin-binding protein with 3'-5' DNA helicase activity. HSV-1 also encodes a set of enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism that are not required for viral replication in cultured cells. These enzymes include a deoxyuridine triphosphatase, a ribonucleotide reductase, a thymidine kinase, an alkaline endo-exonuclease, and a uracil-DNA glycosylase. Host enzymes, notably DNA polymerase alpha-primase, DNA ligase I, and topoisomerase II, are probably also required. Following circularization of the linear viral genome, DNA replication very likely proceeds in two phases: an initial phase of theta replication, initiated at one or more of the origins, followed by a rolling-circle mode of replication. The latter generates concatemers that are cleaved and packaged into infectious viral particles. The rolling-circle phase of HSV-1 DNA replication has been reconstituted in vitro by a complex containing several of the HSV-1 encoded DNA replication enzymes. Reconstitution of the theta phase has thus far eluded workers in the field and remains a challenge for the future.

Abstract
Mutations in the alkaline nuclease gene of herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) (nuc mutations) induce almost wild-type levels of viral DNA; however, mutant viral yields are 0.1 to 1% of wild-type yields (L. Shao, L. Rapp, and S. Weller, Virology 195:146-162, 1993; R. Martinez, L. Shao, J.C. Bronstein, P.C. Weber, and S. Weller, Virology 215:152-164, 1996). nuc mutants are defective in one or more stages of genome maturation and appear to package DNA into aberrant or defective capsids which fail to egress from the nucleus of infected cells. In this study, we used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to test the hypothesis that the defects in nuc mutants are due to the failure of the newly replicated viral DNA to be processed properly during DNA replication and/or recombination. Replicative intermediates of HSV-1 DNA from both wild-type- and mutant-infected cells remain in the wells of pulsed-field gels, while free linear monomers are readily resolved. Digestion of this well DNA with restriction enzymes that cleave once in the viral genome releases discrete monomer DNA from wild-type virus-infected cells but not from nuc mutant-infected cells. We conclude that both wild-type and mutant DNAs exist in a complex, nonlinear form (possibly branched) during replication. The fact that discrete monomer-length DNA cannot be released from nuc DNA by a single-cutting enzyme suggests that this DNA is more branched than DNA which accumulates in cells infected with wild-type virus. The well DNA from cells infected with wild-type and nuc mutants contains XbaI fragments which result from genomic inversions, indicating that alkaline nuclease is not required for mediating recombination events within HSV DNA. Furthermore, nuc mutants are able to carry out DNA replication-mediated homologous recombination events between inverted repeats on plasmids as evaluated by using a quantitative transient recombination assay. Well DNA from both wild-type- and mutant-infected cells contains free U(L) termini but not free U(S) termini. Various models to explain the structure of replicating DNA are considered.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus type 1 genome contains three origins of DNA replication: two copies of oriS and one copy of oriL. Although oriS has been characterized extensively, characterization of oriL has been severely limited by the inability to amplify oriL sequences in an undeleted form in Escherichia coli. We report the successful cloning of intact oriL sequences in an E. coli strain, SURE, which contains mutations in a series of genes involved in independent DNA repair pathways shown to be important in the rearrangement and deletion of DNA containing irregular structures such as palindromes. The oriL-containing clones propagated in SURE cells contained no deletions, as determined by Southern blot hybridization and DNA sequence analysis, and were replication competent in transient DNA replication assays. Deletion of 400 bp of flanking sequences decreased the replication efficiency of oriL twofold in transient assays, demonstrating a role for flanking sequences in enhancing replication efficiency. Comparison of the replication efficiencies of an 822-bp oriS-containing plasmid and an 833-bp oriL-containing plasmid demonstrated that the kinetics of replication of the two plasmids were similar but that the oriL-containing plasmid replicated 60 to 70% as efficiently as the oriS-containing plasmid at both early and late times after infection with herpes simplex virus type 1. The virus-specified origin-binding protein (OBP) and a cellular factor(s) (OF-1) have been shown in gel mobility shift experiments to bind specific sequences in oriS (C.E. Dabrowski, P. Carmillo, and P.A. Schaffer, Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:2545-2555, 1994; C.E. Dabrowski and P.A. Schaffer, J. Virol. 65:3140-3150, 1991). Although the nucleotides required for the binding of OBP to OBP binding site I in oriL and oriS are the same, a single nucleotide difference distinguishes OBP binding site III in the two origins. The nucleotides adjacent to oriS sites I and III have been shown to be important for the binding of OF-1 to oriS site I. Several nucleotide differences exist in these sequences in oriL and oriS. Despite these minor nucleotide differences, the protein-DNA complexes that formed with oriL and oriS sites I and III were indistinguishable when extracts of infected and uninfected cells were used as the source of protein. Furthermore, the results of competition analysis suggest that the proteins involved in protein-DNA complex formation with sites I and III of the two origins are likely the same.

Abstract
To determine the replicative mechanism for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA, field inversion gel electrophoresis was used to separate HCMV replicative DNAs during lytic infection. Unit-length circular HCMV genomes lacking terminal restriction fragments were detected starting 4 h after infection even when cells were treated with aphidicolin, phosphonoacetic acid, or cycloheximide. Viral DNA synthesis began 24 h after infection and produced large amounts of high-molecular-weight replicative DNA that was a precursor of progeny genomes. Replicative DNA contained rare terminal restriction fragments, and long-arm termini were much less frequent than short-arm termini. Replicative DNA was not composed of unit-length circles because low-dose gamma irradiation of replicative DNA generated numerous random high-molecular-weight fragments rather than unit-length molecules. PacI digestion of replicative DNA from a recombinant HCMV with two closely spaced PacI sites revealed that replicative DNA is concatemeric and genome segment inversion occurs after concatemer synthesis. These results show that after circularization of the parental genome, DNA synthesis produces concatemers and genomic inversion occurs within concatemeric DNA. The results further suggest that concatemers acquire genomic termini during the cleavage/packaging process which preferentially inserts short-arm termini into empty capsids, causing a predominance of short-arm termini on the concatemer.

Abstract
The genome of equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) defective interfering (DI) particle DNA originates from discrete regions within the standard (STD) EHV-1 genome: the left terminus (0.0 to 0.04 map units) and the inverted repeats (0.78 to 0.79 and 0.83 to 0.87 map units of the internal inverted repeat; 0.91 to 0.95 and 0.99 to 1.00 map units of the terminal inverted repeat). Since DI DNA must contain cis-acting DNA sequences, such as replication origins, which cannot be supplied in trans by the STD EHV-1 virus, regions of the EHV-1 genome shown to be in DI DNA were assayed for the presence of a viral origin of DNA replication. Specifically, STD EHV-1 DNA fragments encompassing the genomic regions present in DI particle DNA were inserted into the vector pAT153, and individual clones were tested by transfection assays for the ability to support the amplification and replication of plasmid DNA in EHV-1-infected cells. The Sma-1 subfragment of the internal inverted repeat sequence (0.83 to 0.85 map units) was shown to contain origin of replication activity. Subcloning and BAL 31 deletion analysis of the 2.35-kilobase-pair (kbp) Sma-1 fragment delineated a 200-bp fragment that contained origin activity. The origin activities of all EHV-1 clones which were positive by the transfection assay were confirmed by methylation analysis by using the methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes DpnI and MboI. DNA sequencing of the 200-bp fragment which contained an EHV-1 origin of replication indicated that this region has significant homology to previously characterized origins of replication of human herpesviruses. Furthermore, comparison of known origin sequences demonstrated that a 9-bp sequence, CGTTCGCAC, which is conserved among all origins of replication of human lytic herpesviruses and which is contained within the 18-bp region in herpes simplex virus type 1 origins shown by others to be protected by an origin-binding protein (P. Elias, M. E. O'Donnell, E. S. Mocarski, and I. R. Lehman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:6322-6326) is also conserved across species in the EHV-1 origin of replication.

Abstract
The Ori-S segment of herpes simplex virus type 1 contains a 45-base-pair-long imperfect palindrome with an AT segment at its center. We cloned Ori-S into a poisonless plasmid to investigate the role of the palindromic components in DNA replication. Neither a large insertion within the AT segment nor a deletion of the right side of the palindrome significantly inhibited DNA replication under our conditions of analysis. These findings argue against the necessity for a specific cruciform structure in the initiation of replication. We scanned the entire AT segment with triple tandem-base-pair substitutions to pinpoint essential functional sequences. Only the first 3 base pairs at the left end of the segment are absolutely essential for replication in the presence of the remaining AT sequences.

Abstract
During the course of experiments designed to isolate deletion mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 in the gene encoding the major DNA-binding protein, ICP8, a mutant, d61, that grew efficiently in ICP8-expressing Vero cells but not in normal Vero cells was isolated (P. K. Orberg and P. A. Schaffer, J. Virol. 61:1136-1146, 1987). d61 was derived by cotransfection of ICP8-expressing Vero cells with infectious wild-type viral DNA and a plasmid, pDX, that contains an engineered 780-base-pair (bp) deletion in the ICP8 gene, as well as a spontaneous approximately 55-bp deletion in oriL. Gel electrophoresis and Southern blot analysis indicated that d61 DNA carried both deletions present in pDX. The ability of d61 to replicate despite the deletion in oriL suggested that a functional oriL is not essential for virus replication in vitro. Because d61 harbored two mutations, a second mutant, ts+7, with a deletion in oriL-associated sequences and an intact ICP8 gene was constructed. Both d61 and ts+7 replicated efficiently in their respective permissive host cells, although their yields were slightly lower than those of control viruses with intact oriL sequences. An in vitro test of origin function of isolated oriL sequences from wild-type virus and ts+7 showed that wild-type oriL, but not ts+7 oriL, was functional upon infection with helper virus. In an effort to determine the requirement for oriL in latency, ts+7 was compared with wild-type virus for its ability to establish, maintain, and be reactivated from latent infection in a murine eye model. The mutant was reactivated as efficiently as was wild-type virus from trigeminal ganglia after cocultivation with permissive cells, and each of the seven reactivated isolates was shown to carry the approximately 150-bp deletion characteristic of ts+7. These observations demonstrate that oriL is not required for virus replication in vitro or for the establishment and reactivation of latent infection in vivo.

Abstract
An origin of replication within the long unique sequence of herpes simplex virus type 2 designated oriL2 has been identified in a position homologous to its type 1 counterpart, oriL1, between map coordinates 0.398 and 0.413. The difficulties encountered in previous attempts to clone both oriL2 and oriL1 in an undeleted form were surmounted by minimizing the growth of the host Escherichia coli, using a recBC sbcB E. coli host, and purifying the full-length plasmid from delected forms by using a novel method which exploits the ability of a palindrome-containing plasmid to adopt a cruciform conformation, thereby decreasing its supercoiling. In a previously developed assay for functional origin activity, oriL2 was localized to a 241-base-pair ApaI-SstII fragment. DNA sequence analysis revealed a 136-base pair, almost perfect palindrome. Comparison with oriL1 showed a very high degree of conservation: the two origins differ in only 16 of the 144-base-pair oriL1 palindromic region. Most significantly, the differences between oriL1 and oriL2 mainly occur in pairs so as to generally preserve the potential for intrastrand base pairing. The central region of oriL2 is homologous with the shorter palindromic structures detected in origins located within the repetitive sequences of the short component of herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2.

Abstract
The defective parvovirus Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is absolutely dependent upon coinfection with either Adenovirus or Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) for its multiplication. We have compared the terminal repeats of HSV-1F strain DNA with the terminal 200 nucleotides of AAV DNA. Our findings demonstrate similarities between portions of the HSV inverted repeats found at the L/S junction and the termini of AAV. By computer analysis we have determined potential secondary folding patterns for both genomes. The following points can be made about the a, b, and c repeats in HSV: (1) Regions b and c are complementary over a significant portion of their length. (2) The ends of a can fold back on themselves to form large secondary structures. Moreover, when the b and c homology is used to align the ends of a, the b/a and c/a junctions are within 1 base of each other. (3) The short direct repeats within a are essentially a large loop with little secondary structure. The potential implications of this structure are discussed and a model for HSV DNA replication is presented.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus type 1 genome (160 kilobases) contains three origins of DNA synthesis: two copies of oriS located within the repeated sequences flanking the short unique arm (US), and one copy of oriL located within the long unique arm (UL). Precise localization and characterization of oriL have been severely hampered by the inability to clone sequences which contain it (coordinates 0.398 to 0.413) in an undeleted form in bacteria. We report herein the successful cloning of sequences between 0.398 to 0.413 in an undeleted form, using a yeast cloning vector. Sequence analysis of a 425-base pair fragment spanning the deletion-prone region has revealed a perfect 144-base pair palindrome with striking homology to oriS. In a functional assay, the undeleted clone was amplified when functions from herpes simplex virus type 1 were supplied in trans, whereas clones with deletions of 55 base pairs or more were not amplified.

Abstract
Human embryonic lung cells were pre-equilibrated with phosphonoacetate and 32P orthophosphate label, then infected with phosphonoacetate-sensitive herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1. Analyses of viral DNA produced in these cells showed the following. i) Viral DNA was synthesized in infected cells exposed to 100 micrograms of the drug per ml of medium but not in cells exposed to four-fold higher concentrations of the drug. ii) At 300 micrograms/ml a region of the DNA between 0.58 and 0.69 map units became transiently labeled, but the restriction endonuclease fragment containing these sequences migrated more slowly than the corresponding fragment from virion DNA. iii) Viral DNA extracted from infected cells 1.5 hours post drug withdrawal (300 micrograms/ml) was preferentially labeled in 2 regions of the genome mapping between 0.17 and 0.23 and 0.58-0.69 map units. This finding is in agreement with a report of FRIEDMAN et al. (8) suggesting that HSV DNA contains two different sites of initiation. In addition a 4.8 X 10(6) molecular weight fragment was also preferentially labeled. This fragment could represent a smaller, aberrantly migrating fragment from the 0.17-0.27 map unit region of the DNA. (iv) Viral DNA extracted from infected cells at longer intervals after drug withdrawal showed an increasing gradient of radioactivity progressively labeling the genome. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that viral DNA has at least two sites of initiation of DNA synthesis and that both sites are within the L component of the DNA. Alternatively, the results could be interpreted as two sites of localized synthesis (repair) that are detected at high concentrations of phosphonoacetate and immediately following reversal of inhibition of DNA synthesis. The results do not exclude the possibility that secondary sites in both L and S are utilized late in infection or in untreated cells.

Abstract
A DNA-relaxing enzyme was found to copurify along with herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1)-induced DNA polymerase throughout a multistep purification scheme. Both the enzymes had similar sedimentation velocity, required high ionic strength for optimal enzymatic activities and showed time dependence of reaction. The DNA-relaxing enzyme however, differed from the HSV-1 DNA polymerase in its requirement for higher Mg2+ concentration, rATP and much broader pH dependence. Furthermore, phosphonoacetic acid, a potent inhibitor of HSV-1 DNA polymerase did not influence the DNA-relaxing activity even at a much higher concentration. On the other hand, the DNA-relaxing enzyme associated with the DNA polymerase may be specified by HSV-1 since IgG fraction of rabbit antisera against the virus-infected cells but not against the mock-infected cells strongly inhibited both the enzymatic activities. Thus, HSV-1-induced DNA polymerase which is known to be associated with a 3' to 5' exonuclease may also be associated with yet another enzymatic activity involved in DNA metabolism.

Abstract
To study the nature of virus-cell interaction in persistently infected cells we have examined production of infectious virus, synthesis of viral DNA and DNA polymerase in a human leukemic cell line K562. It was found that only one of three K562 cell lines was permissive for limited growth of HSV-2 and infectious virus was released in a cyclical fashion. Intranuclear inclusions with electron-dense fibrils and particles resembling viral structures were observed in the virus-infected but not control K562 cells. Viral DNA synthesis could not be detected by centrifugation in CsCl density gradients; but was readily identified by Southern blot hydridization of virus-infected intracellular DNA with purified viral DNA. Viral DNa polymerase was synthesized by infected cells during active infectious virus production. In one of the two K562 cell lines that did not produce infectious virus, a few DNA fragments from infected cells were found to hybridize with purified viral DNA. These results suggest that variable lengths of HSV-2 genome can be harbored and propagated by different human leukemic K562 cells.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus genome consists of two components, L and S, which invert relative to each other during viral replication. The a sequence is present at the genomic termini in direct orientation and at the L-S junction in inverted orientation. Previously, we showed that insertion of a fragment spanning the L-S junction into the viral genome causes additional inversions. In this study, we determine the nucleotide sequence of the genomic termini and show that insertion of either the free S terminus or the L terminus causes inversions in the viral genome. We conclude that the a sequence is the inversion-specific sequence, that linear unit-length molecules packaged in virions are generated by cleavage between adjacent copies of the a sequence, that cleavage produces 3' single-base extensions on the genomic termini and that the signal for cleavage is contained within the a sequence.

Abstract
We have investigated the molecular anatomy of the herpes simplex virus replicative intermediates by cleavage with the restriction endonuclease BglII. We find that in populations of multiply infected cells, pulse-labeled replicating herpes simplex virus DNA contains at least two and probably all four sequence isomers. Also, it contains no detectable termini. In pulse-chase experiments, we show that endless replicative intermediates are the precursors to virion DNA and that maturation is a relatively slow process. The results are discussed in terms of their significance to possible models of herpes simplex virus DNA replication.
