The MHV-68 nuclear egress complex supports C-capsid selective capsid egress [PDF]
Herpesvirus capsids assemble within the host nucleus and must traverse the nuclear envelope to undergo final envelopment in the cytoplasm. This exit strategy is orchestrated by the nuclear egress complex (NEC), a conserved heterodimeric protein complex ...

A Role for Nuclear F-Actin Induction in Human Cytomegalovirus Nuclear Egress [PDF]
Herpesviruses, which include important pathogens, remodel the host cell nucleus to facilitate infection. This remodeling includes the formation of structures called replication compartments (RCs) in which herpesviruses replicate their DNA.

Structural Basis for Capsid Recruitment and Coat Formation during HSV-1 Nuclear Egress [PDF]
During herpesvirus infection, nascent viral capsids egress the nucleus into the cytoplasm by an unusual mechanism whereby capsids bud at the inner nuclear membrane.

Human Cytomegalovirus Nuclear Capsids Associate with the Core Nuclear Egress Complex and the Viral Protein Kinase pUL97 [PDF]
The nuclear phase of herpesvirus replication is regulated through the formation of regulatory multi-component protein complexes. Viral genomic replication is followed by nuclear capsid assembly, DNA encapsidation and nuclear egress.

During viral replication, herpesviruses utilize a unique strategy, termed nuclear egress, to translocate capsids from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. This initial budding step transfers a newly formed capsid from within the nucleus, too large to fit through nuclear pores, through the inner nuclear membrane to the perinuclear space.

HSV-1 exploits host heterochromatin for nuclear egress. [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) progeny form in the nucleus and exit to successfully infect other cells. Newly formed capsids navigate complex chromatin architecture to reach the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and egress. Here, we demonstrate by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that HSV-1 capsids traverse heterochromatin associated with trimethylation

The universal suppressor mutation restores membrane budding defects in the HSV-1 nuclear egress complex by stabilizing the oligomeric lattice. [PDF]
Nuclear egress is an essential process in herpesvirus replication whereby nascent capsids translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This initial step of nuclear egress-budding at the inner nuclear membrane-is coordinated by the nuclear egress ...

Molecular plasticity of herpesvirus nuclear egress analysed in situ. [PDF]
The viral nuclear egress complex (NEC) allows herpesvirus capsids to escape from the nucleus without compromising the nuclear envelope integrity. The NEC lattice assembles on the inner nuclear membrane and mediates the budding of nascent nucleocapsids into the perinuclear space and their subsequent release into the cytosol.

The Knowns and Unknowns of Herpesvirus Nuclear Egress [PDF]
Nuclear egress of herpesvirus capsids across the intact nuclear envelope is an exceptional vesicle-mediated nucleocytoplasmic translocation resulting in the delivery of herpesvirus capsids into the cytosol. Budding of the (nucleo)capsid at and scission from the inner nuclear membrane (INM) is mediated by the viral nuclear egress complex (NEC) resulting

Viruses and Nuclear Egress [PDF]
This Special Issue of Viruses focuses on the topic of viruses and nuclear egress. Nuclear egress is a fascinating process by which herpesvirus nucleocapsids make their way from the nuclear interior to the cytoplasm.
