Abstract excerpt
GRP94 is a major glycoprotein in the endoplasmic reticulum with calcium-binding properties. Recently, GRP94 has been shown to bind to unassembled forms of multimeric proteins and peptides. We report here that GRP94 forms a stable association with the mutated form of the herpes simplex type virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein B, but not with the fully processed viral protein. Both the glycosylated and unglycosylated...
