Human Cytomegalovirus Tegument Protein pUL71 Is Required for Efficient Virion Egress
1 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The human cytomegalovirus virion is composed of a DNA genome packaged in an icosahedral capsid, surrounded by a tegument of protein and RNA, all enclosed within a glycoprotein-studded envelope. Achieving this intricate virion architecture requires a coordinated process of assembly and egress. We show here that pUL71, a component of the virion tegument with a previously uncharacterized function, is...
