Abstract excerpt
An enduring mystery in poxvirology is the mechanism by which virion morphogenesis is accomplished. A30.5 and L2 are two small regulatory proteins that are essential for this process. Previous studies have shown that vaccinia A30.5 and L2 localize to the ER and interact during infection, but how they facilitate morphogenesis is unknown. To interrogate the relationship between A30.5 and L2, we generated inducible...
