Abstract Inhibition of the human cytomegalovirus UL97 kinase by maribavir is thought to be responsible for the antiviral activity of this compound. Some mutations that confer resistance to maribavir map to UL97 however additional mutations that also confer resistance to the drug were mapped to UL27. These open reading frames share a low level of homology yet the function of pUL27 remains unknown. A recombinant virus with a deletion in the UL27 open reading frame was reported previously to exhibit a slight replication deficit but a more important function in vivo was hypothesized given its homology to the UL97 kinase. The potential .
