| Abstract | The largest tegument protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), UL36, contains a novel deubiquitinating activity embedded in it. All members of the Herpesviridae contain a homologue of HSV-1 UL36, the N-terminal segments of which show perfect conservation of those residues implicated in catalysis. For murine cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus, chosen as representatives of the beta- and gammaherpesvirus subfamilies, respectively, we here show that the homologous modules indeed display deubiquitinating activity in vitro. The conservation of this activity throughout all subfamilies is indicative of an important, if not essential, function. |
