Abstract Once it enters the host cell, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) recruits a series of host cell factors to facilitate its life cycle. Here, we demonstrate that serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2), which is an important component of the splicing speckle, mediates HSV-1 replication by regulating viral gene expression at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Our results indicate that SRSF2 functions as a transcriptional activator by directly binding to infected cell polypeptide 0 (ICP0), infected cell polypeptide 27 (ICP27), and thymidine kinase promoters. Moreover, SRSF2 participates in ICP0 pre-mRNA splicing by recognizing binding sites in ICP0 exon 3. These findings provide insight into the functions of SRSF2 in HSV-1 replication and gene expression.
