Abstract: The tegument protein encoded by UL41 gene of herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) acts as an mRNA-specific RNase activity, which involved in host immune evasion and associated with other proteins to regulate its RNase activity. This paper reviewed the RNase activity and regulation mechanism of this protein, and provided a reference for further study of this gene.
