Patterns of Autologous and Nonautologous Interactions between Core Nuclear Egress Complex (NEC) Proteins of α-, β- and γ-Herpesviruses [PDF]
Nuclear egress is a regulated process shared by α-, β- and γ-herpesviruses. The core nuclear egress complex (NEC) is composed of the membrane-anchored protein homologs of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) pUL50, murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV ...

Expression, Purification and Crystallization of the Herpesvirus Nuclear Egress Complex (NEC) [PDF]
The protocol describes the production and crystallization of the soluble form of the nuclear egress complex (NEC) from Herpes simplex virus 1 and Pseudorabies virus. The NEC is a heterodimer that consists of conserved proteins UL31 and UL34.

Nuclear entry and egress of parvoviruses
AbstractParvoviruses are small non‐enveloped single‐stranded DNA viruses, which depend on host cell nuclear transcriptional and replication machinery. After endosomal exposure of nuclear localization sequence and a phospholipase A2 domain on the capsid surface, and escape into the cytosol, parvovirus capsids enter the nucleus.

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.

A beta-herpesvirus with fluorescent capsids to study transport in living cells. [PDF]
Fluorescent tagging of viral particles by genetic means enables the study of virus dynamics in living cells. However, the study of beta-herpesvirus entry and morphogenesis by this method is currently limited.

The Herpes Simplex Virus Protein pUL31 Escorts Nucleocapsids to Sites of Nuclear Egress, a Process Coordinated by Its N-Terminal Domain. [PDF]
Progeny capsids of herpesviruses leave the nucleus by budding through the nuclear envelope. Two viral proteins, the membrane protein pUL34 and the nucleo-phosphoprotein pUL31 form the nuclear egress complex that is required for capsid egress out of the ...

Baculovirus Actin-Based Motility Drives Nuclear Envelope Disruption and Nuclear Egress [PDF]
Viruses that replicate in the host cell nucleus face challenges in usurping cellular pathways to enable passage through the nuclear envelope [1]. Baculoviruses are enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses that infect lepidopteran insects and are tools for protein expression, cell transduction, and pest management [2-4].

Nuclear envelope budding and its cellular functions
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) has long been assumed to be the sole route across the nuclear envelope, and under normal homeostatic conditions it is indeed the main mechanism of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport.

Human Cytomegalovirus pUL93 Links Nucleocapsid Maturation and Nuclear Egress [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) pUL93 and pUL77 are both essential for virus growth, but their functions in the virus life cycle remain mostly unresolved. Homologs of pUL93 and pUL77 in herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) are known to interact to form a complex at capsid vertices known as the capsid vertex ...
