Structural highlights
FunctionDNBI_HHV11 Plays several crucial roles in viral infection. Participates in the opening of the viral DNA origin to initiate replication by interacting with the origin-binding protein UL9. May disrupt loops, hairpins and other secondary structures present on ssDNA to reduce and eliminate pausing of viral DNA polymerase at specific sites during elongation. Promotes viral DNA recombination by performing strand-transfer, characterized by the ability to transfer a DNA strand from a linear duplex to a complementary single-stranded DNA circle. Can also catalyze the renaturation of complementary single strands.[1] [2] References
