Human herpesvirus 8 gene encodes a functional thymidylate synthase.

Gábor Gáspár1, Erik De Clercq, Johan Neyts.   

Abstract

We demonstrate that human herpesvirus 8, obtained from the lymphoma cell line BC-3 as well as from Kaposi's sarcoma lesions, carries a gene that encodes a functional thymidylate synthase (TS). The particular characteristics of this enzyme are studied and compared to the characteristics of TSs encoded by other organisms.
