During lytic infection, the genome of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is associated with limited levels of histones but does not form a regular repeating nucleosomal structure. However, the previous observation that chromatin remodeling factors are recruited into viral replication compartments indicates that chromatin remodeling plays a role in HSV-1 gene expression and DNA replication. In this study we demonstrate the presence of histone H3 on HSV-1 DNA early in infection at levels equivalent to ...[more]
