The herpes simplex virus (HSV) virulence factor ICP34.5, the mouse myeloid differentiation protein MyD116, and the hamster growth arrest and DNA damage protein GADD34 share a 63-amino-acid carboxyl domain which has significant homologies to otherwise divergent proteins. Here we report that both ICP34.5 and its cellular homolog MyD116 complex through the conserved domain with proliferating cell nuclear antigen. In addition, HSV infection induces a novel 70-kDa cellular protein detectable by antisera to both ICP34.5 and GADD34, demonstrating that this novel protein possesses homology with the 63-amino-acid conserved domain.
