Human Cytomegalovirus UL130 Protein Promotes Endothelial Cell Infection through a Producer Cell Modification of the Virion
15 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) growth in endothelial cells (EC) requires the expression of the UL131A-128 locus proteins. In this study, the UL130 protein (pUL130), the product of the largest gene of the locus, is shown to be a luminal glycoprotein that is inefficiently secreted from infected cells but is incorporated into the virion envelope as a Golgi-matured form. To investigate the mechanism of the...
