Abstract excerpt
Glycoprotein H (gH) is conserved among all herpesviruses and is essential for virus entry and cell fusion along with gL, gB, and, in most alphaherpesviruses, gD. Within the gH/gL heterodimer, it is thought that gH accounts for the fusion function and gL acts as a chaperone for the folding and transport of gH. Here, we found that the N terminus of gH2 contains important elements involved in both its folding and...
