Although the putative functions in Table 1are not generally associated with virulence, many genes, under the right circumstances, can facilitate infection or contribute to pathogenicity.
Its capabilities of enhancing iron uptake and iron reduction make it a good candidate for a pathogenicity factor.
The additional phenotypes now associated with LMNA mutations also favor alternative mechanisms of pathogenicity.
Resistance to acyclovir (ACV) or penciclovir (PCV) generally arises by a single base mutation in either the HSV thymidine kinase (TK) or DNA polymerase (Pol) gene [for a review, see reference [ 5 ] ]. Unlike Pol, TK is not essential for virus replication in cell culture [ 7 ] , although in vivo analyses implicate it in HSV virulence, pathogenicity and reactivation from latency [ 4 8 16 22 ] . Since ACV and PCV are dependent upon HSV TK for monophosphorylation, an event obligatory for the formation of the active triphosphate inhibitor [ 14 ] , ACV risolates often exhibit high levels of cross-resistance to PCV [ 2 3 ] .
The rapidly growing molecular datasets for secondary (or young primary) insect endosymbionts have identified pathways that are considered to be required for pathogenicity, such as Type III secretion (Dale et al.
