title: Nucleocapsid, nuclear association, and genome location of the herpes simplex virus type 2 38-kD DNA-binding protein.
abstract: A previously-described herpes simplex virus type 2 DNA-binding protein with a molecular size of 38 kD has been further characterized. Using purified nucleocapsids, a DNase release assay, and intertypic recombinants, this protein was found to be a component of the nucleocapsid, intimately associated with the nuclear matrix, and encoded between 0.605 and 0.720 on the herpes simplex virus type 2 genome.
