Abstract excerpt
The cleavage and packaging of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome is accomplished by the viral terminase, comprising pUL56 and pUL89, and the recently identified pUL51 subunit. Since knowledge about pUL51 is scarce, we aimed at identifying pUL51 domains that are important for terminase assembly. In silico analysis suggested that the N-terminal half of pUL51 is intrinsically disordered, and that α-helices are...
