Abstract
We have developed a baculovirus expression system for the rapid and efficient production of large quantities (> 5 rag/10 cells) of ICP8. The recombinant ICP8 is fully functional and binds to single-stranded DNA. Secondary structure calculations from circular dichroism measurements indicate a content of 34.5% α-helix and 15.4% β-sheet. This is the first structural report for ICP8 using CD analysis, which will be very useful for high-throughput assay development and mechanistic studies.
