Herpes simplex viral nucleoprotein creates a competitive transcriptional environment facilitating robust viral transcription and host shut off

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) replicates within the nucleus coopting the host’s RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) machinery for production of viral mRNAs culminating in host transcriptional shut off. The mechanism behind this rapid reprogramming of the host transcriptional environment is largely unknown....
