The vaccinia virus A56 protein: a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein that anchors two secreted viral proteins
30 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
The vaccinia virus A56 protein was one of the earliest-described poxvirus proteins with an identifiable activity. While originally characterized as a haemagglutinin protein, A56 has other functions as well. The A56 protein is capable of binding two viral proteins, a serine protease inhibitor (K2) and the vaccinia virus complement control protein (VCP), and anchoring them to the surface of infected cells.
