Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV- 6), which belongs to the betaherpesvirus subfamily and infects mainly T cells in vitro, causes acute and latent infections. HHV- 6 contains two genes (U12 and U51) that encode putative homologs of cellular G-protein-coupled receptors (GCR), while three other betaherpesviruses, human cytomegalovirus, murine cytomegalovirus, and human herpesvirus 7, have three, one, and two GCR-homologous...
