Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus Ac51 interacts with Ac66 and facilitates its nuclear localization to promote the nuclear egress of nucleocapsids [PDF]
Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus is a large DNA virus that replicates within host nuclei. The mechanism underlying the nuclear egress of viral nucleocapsids is not fully understood.

The nuclear egress complex of Epstein-Barr virus buds membranes through an oligomerization-driven mechanism. [PDF]
During replication, herpesviral capsids are translocated from the nucleus into the cytoplasm by an unusual mechanism, termed nuclear egress, that involves capsid budding at the inner nuclear membrane.

GRWD1 enhances HSV-1 replication by facilitating nuclear egress [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) depends on host factors for its replication. Here, we identify glutamate-rich WD40 repeat-containing 1 (GRWD1) as a novel pro-viral host factor that facilitates HSV-1 nuclear egress. GRWD1 knockdown trapped nucleocapsids in

Phenotypical Characterization of the Nuclear Egress of Recombinant Cytomegaloviruses Reveals Defective Replication upon ORF-UL50 Deletion but Not pUL50 Phosphosite Mutation [PDF]
Nuclear egress is a common herpesviral process regulating nucleocytoplasmic capsid release. For human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), the nuclear egress complex (NEC) is determined by the pUL50-pUL53 core that regulates multicomponent assembly with NEC ...

The Complex Regulatory Role of Cytomegalovirus Nuclear Egress Protein pUL50 in the Production of Infectious Virus [PDF]
The regulation of the nucleocytoplasmic release of herpesviral capsids is defined by the process of nuclear egress. Due to their large size, nuclear capsids are unable to traverse via nuclear pores, so that herpesviruses evolved to develop a vesicular ...

NECing goes: flexibility of the herpesvirus nuclear egress complex [PDF]
Abstract The nuclear egress complex (NEC) allows herpesvirus capsids to escape from the nucleus without breaking the nuclear envelope barrier. It assembles into a lattice on the inner nuclear membrane enveloping newly assembled nucleocapsids, which bud into the perinuclear space.

Human Cytomegalovirus Nuclear Egress Complex Subunit, UL53, Associates with Capsids and Myosin Va, but Is Not Important for Capsid Localization towards the Nuclear Periphery [PDF]
After herpesviruses encapsidate their genomes in replication compartments (RCs) within the nuclear interior, capsids migrate to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) for nuclear egress.

Nuclear Egress of Herpesviruses
Herpesvirus particles mature in two different cellular compartments. While capsid assembly and packaging of the genomic linear double-stranded DNA occur in the nucleus, virion formation takes place in the cytoplasm by the addition of numerous tegument ...

Nuclear Envelope Breakdown Can Substitute for Primary Envelopment-Mediated Nuclear Egress of Herpesviruses [PDF]
ABSTRACT Herpesvirus nucleocapsids assemble in the nucleus but mature to infectious virions in the cytoplasm. To gain access to this cellular compartment, nucleocapsids are translocated to the cytoplasm by primary envelopment at the inner nuclear membrane and subsequent fusion of the primary envelope with the outer nuclear membrane.
