The US3 open reading frame of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) was reported to encode two mRNAs each directing the synthesis of the same protein. We report that the US3 gene encodes two proteins. The predominant US3 protein is made in wild-type HSV-1-infected cells. The truncated mRNA and a truncated protein designated US3.5 and initiating from methionine 77 were preeminent in cells infected with a mutant lacking the gene encoding ICP22. Both the wild-type and truncated proteins also accumulated in cells transduced with a baculovirus carrying the entire US3 open reading frame. The US3.5 protein accumulating in cells infected with the mutant lacking the gene encoding ICP22 mediated the phosphorylation of histone deacetylase 1, a function of US3 protein, but failed to block apoptosis of the infected cells. The US3.5 and US3 proteins differ with respect to the range of functions they exhibit.
