The tegument protein UL94 of human cytomegalovirus as a binding partner for tegument protein pp28 identified by intracellular imaging.
The tegument protein pp28 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is essential for the assembly of infectious HCMV virions, but how it functions during the process of HCMV tegumentation and envelopment remains unclear. By using live cell fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy and yeast two-hybrid assays, we found that another HCMV tegument protein, UL94, was a specific binding partner...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL99-encoded pp28 is an essential tegument protein required for envelopment and production of infectious virus. Nonenveloped virions accumulate in the cytoplasm of cells infected with recombinant viruses with the UL99 gene deleted. Previous results have suggested that a key function of pp28 in the envelopment of infectious HCMV is expressed after the protein localiz...
متن کاملTegument proteins of human cytomegalovirus.
SUMMARY Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a common, medically relevant human herpesvirus. The tegument layer of herpesvirus virions lies between the genome-containing capsids and the viral envelope. Proteins within the tegument layer of herpesviruses are released into the cell upon entry when the viral envelope fuses with the cell membrane. These proteins are fully formed and active and control v...
متن کاملThe Smallest Capsid Protein Mediates Binding of the Essential Tegument Protein pp150 to Stabilize DNA-Containing Capsids in Human Cytomegalovirus
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that causes birth defects in newborns and life-threatening complications in immunocompromised individuals. Among all human herpesviruses, HCMV contains a much larger dsDNA genome within a similarly-sized capsid compared to the others, and it was proposed to require pp150, a tegument protein only found in cytomegaloviruses, to stabilize it...
متن کاملA leucine zipper motif of a tegument protein triggers final envelopment of human cytomegalovirus.
The product of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL71 gene is conserved throughout the herpesvirus family. During HCMV infection, protein pUL71 is required for efficient virion egress and is involved in the final steps of secondary envelopment leading to infectious viral particles. We found strong indications for oligomerization of pUL71 under native conditions when recombinant pUL71 was negativ...
