Murine cytomegalovirus M78 protein, a G protein-coupled receptor homologue, is a constituent of the virion and facilitates accumulation of immediate-early viral mRNA

Abstract excerpt
The M78 protein of murine cytomegalovirus exhibits sequence features of a G protein-coupled receptor. It is synthesized with early kinetics, it becomes partially colocalized with Golgi markers, and it is incorporated into viral particles. We have constructed a viral substitution mutant, SMsubM78, which lacks most of the M78 ORF. The mutant produces a reduced yield in cultured 10.1 fibroblast and IC21 macrophage...
