Cutting Edge: A Novel Viral TNF Receptor Superfamily Member in Virulent Strains of Human Cytomegalovirus
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
The UL144 open reading frame found in clinical isolates of human CMV (HCMV) encodes a structural homologue of the herpesvirus entry mediator, a member of the TNFR superfamily. UL144 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed early after infection of fibroblasts; however, it is retained intracellularly. A YXXZ motif in the highly conserved cytoplasmic tail contributes to UL144 subcellular...
