Abstract excerpt
The processivity factor of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA polymerase phosphoprotein ppUL44 plays an essential role in viral replication, showing nuclear localization in infected cells. The present study examines ppUL44's nuclear import pathway for the first time, ectopic expression of ppUL44 revealing a strong nuclear localization in transfected COS-7 and other cell types, implying that no other HCMV...
