Herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein B requires a cysteine residue at position 633 for folding, processing, and incorporation into mature infectious virus particles.

Abstract excerpt

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein B (gB) resides in the virus envelope in an oligomeric form and plays an essential role in virus entry into susceptible host cells. The oligomerizing domain is a movable element consisting of amino acids 626 to 653 in the gB external domain. This domain contains a single cysteine residue at position 633 (Cys-633) that is predicted to form an intramolecular disulfide...
