UL26-Deficient Human Cytomegalovirus Produces Virions with Hypophosphorylated pp28 Tegument Protein That Is Unstable within Newly Infected Cells
14 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
The human cytomegalovirus UL26 open reading frame encodes proteins of 21 and 27 kDa that result from the use of two different in-frame initiation codons. The UL26 protein is a constituent of the virion and thus is delivered to cells upon viral entry. We have characterized a mutant of human cytomegalovirus in which the UL26 open reading frame has been deleted. The UL26 deletion mutant has a profound growth defect,...
