Abstract

It has been proposed that the cellular co-repressor protein CoREST is involved in repressing herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection in the absence of the viral regulatory protein ICP0. This proposal predicts that depletion of CoREST should improve the plaque forming efficiency and replication of ICP0-null mutant virus. To test this hypothesis, human HepaRG cells that are highly depleted of CoREST were isolated using RNA interference technology. Depletion of CoREST had no affect on the replication of ICP0 null mutant HSV-1, demonstrating that CoREST does not play an influential role in regulating HSV-1 infection in this cell type.
