Abstract excerpt

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) polypeptides specified by overlapping genes UL26 and UL26.5 form a scaffold around which the icosahedral capsid shell is assembled. In a series of cleavage events catalysed by the UL26-encoded protease, the full-length UL26 product is processed into capsid prot...
