Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 packages its DNA genome into a precursor capsid, referred to as the procapsid. Of the three capsid-associated DNA-packaging proteins, UL17, UL25, and UL6, only UL17 and UL6 appear to be components of the procapsid, with UL25 being added subsequently. To determine whether the association of UL17 or UL25 with capsids was dependent on the other two packaging proteins, B capsids, which...
