The UL16 gene of human cytomegalovirus encodes a glycoprotein that is dispensable for growth in vitro.

Journal of virology - 1 Nov 1992

Abstract excerpt

The UL16 gene of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes a predicted translation product with features characteristic of glycoproteins (signal and anchor sequences and eight potential N-linked glycosylation sites). Antisera were raised against the UL16 gene product expressed in Escherichia coli as a beta-galactosidase fusion protein. The antisera detected a 50-kDa glycoprotein in HCMV-infected cells that was absent...
