The Essential Human Cytomegalovirus Gene UL52 Is Required for Cleavage-Packaging of the Viral Genome
13 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) produces large DNA concatemers of head-to-tail-linked viral genomes that upon packaging into capsids are cut into unit-length genomes. The mechanisms underlying cleavage-packaging and the subsequent steps prior to nuclear egress of DNA-filled capsids are incompletely understood. The hitherto uncharacterized product of the essential HCMV UL52 gene was proposed to...
