Structure-Guided Mutagenesis Targeting Interactions between pp150 Tegument Protein and Small Capsid Protein Identify Five Lethal and Two Live Attenuated HCMV Mutants
2024-01-23
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication relies on a nucleocapsid coat of the 150kDa, subfamily-specific tegument phosphoprotein (pp150) to regulate cytoplasmic virion maturation. While recent structural studies revealed pp150-capsid interactions, the role of specific amino-acids involved in these interactions have not been established experimentally. In this study, pp150 and the small capsid protein (SCP), one of...
