Role of a carboxyl-terminal helix in the assembly, interchain interactions, and stability of aspartate transcarbamoylase.

abstract：:Glycoprotein E (gE) of HSV plays a key role in cell-to-cell spread and virus-induced cell fusion. Here, we report that this function of gE requires the cooperation of tegument proteins UL11, UL16, and UL21. We found that the four proteins come together with very high efficiency to form a complex in transfected cells a...
