Dystonin/BPAG1 Promotes Plus-End-Directed Transport of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Capsids on Microtubules during Entry
1 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
During infection by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the viral capsid is transported around the cytoplasm along the microtubule (MT) network. Although molecular motors have been implicated in this process, the composition of the molecular machinery required for efficient directional transport is unknown. We previously showed that dystonin (BPAG1) is recruited to HSV-1 capsids by the capsid-bound tegument protein...
