Centromere Architecture Breakdown Induced by the Viral E3 Ubiquitin Ligase ICP0 Protein of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

The viral E3 ubiquitin ligase ICP0 protein has the unique property to temporarily localize at interphase and mitotic centromeres early after infection of cells by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). As a consequence ICP0 induces the proteasomal degradation of several centromeric proteins (CENPs...
