S-adenosylmethionine metabolism in herpes simplex virus type 2-infected cells.
Infection of primary rat embryo cells with herpes simplex virus type 2 has previously been reported to produce a dramatic and rapid inhibition of cellular DNA methylation. However, it has neither an immediate effect on S-adenosylmethionine breakdown nor on the relative pool sizes of S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine.
