The m74 Gene Product of Murine Cytomegalovirus (MCMV) Is a Functional Homolog of Human CMV gO and Determines the Entry Pathway of MCMV
25 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
The glycoprotein gO (UL74) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms a complex with gH/gL. Virus mutants with a deletion of gO show a defect in secondary envelopment with the consequence that virus spread is restricted to a cell-associated pathway. Here we report that the positional homolog of HCMV gO, m74 of mouse CMV (MCMV), codes for a glycosylated protein which also forms a complex with gH (M75). m74 knockout...
