Herpes simplex virus type 1 origin binding protein UL9 tethers and loops origin- and non-origin-DNA intra- and intermolecularly

This study investigates the role of HSV-1 UL9 in DNA looping and finds it does not efficiently loop oriS but can form large loops at non-origin sequences and tether intermolecular oriS DNA.

Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) uncoating is a stepwise process and is linked to structural reorganization of the nucleolus

The paper investigates AAV2 uncoating and finds it occurs in a stepwise process completed in the nucleolus, with structural reorganization of the nucleolus supporting this process.
