Properties of Oligomeric Interaction of the Cytomegalovirus Core Nuclear Egress Complex (NEC) and Its Sensitivity to an NEC Inhibitory Small Molecule [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Herpesviral nuclear egress is a regulated process shared by all family members, ensuring the efficient cytoplasmic release of viral capsids. In the case of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), the core of the nuclear egress complex (NEC) consists of the pUL50 ...

Patterns of Autologous and Nonautologous Interactions between Core Nuclear Egress Complex (NEC) Proteins of α-, β- and γ-Herpesviruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 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]
Bio-Protocol, 2016 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.

Assessment of Covalently Binding Warhead Compounds in the Validation of the Cytomegalovirus Nuclear Egress Complex as an Antiviral Target [PDF]
Cells, 2023 Herpesviral nuclear egress is a regulated process of viral capsid nucleocytoplasmic release. Due to the large capsid size, a regular transport via the nuclear pores is unfeasible, so that a multistage-regulated export pathway through the nuclear lamina ...

A small molecule exerts selective antiviral activity by targeting the human cytomegalovirus nuclear egress complex. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important pathogen for which new antiviral drugs are needed. HCMV, like other herpesviruses, encodes a nuclear egress complex (NEC) composed of two subunits, UL50 and UL53, whose interaction is crucial for viral ...

‘Come together’—The Regulatory Interaction of Herpesviral Nuclear Egress Proteins Comprises Both Essential and Accessory Functions [PDF]
Cells, 2022 Herpesviral nuclear egress is a fine-tuned regulatory process that defines the nucleocytoplasmic release of viral capsids. Nuclear capsids are unable to traverse via nuclear pores due to the fact of their large size; therefore, herpesviruses evolved to ...

ESCRT-III is recruited by human herpesvirus 6A nuclear egress complex to promote nuclear egress of the nucleocapsid [PDF]
Journal of VirologyHerpesviruses replicate their genomes and package them into capsids within the host cell nucleus. These capsids must then translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through a process designated nuclear egress. The virus-encoded nuclear egress complex (

‘Shared-Hook’ and ‘Changed-Hook’ Binding Activities of Herpesviral Core Nuclear Egress Complexes Identified by Random Mutagenesis [PDF]
Cells, 2022 Herpesviruses replicate their genomes and assemble their capsids in the host cell nucleus. To progress towards morphogenesis in the cytoplasm, herpesviruses evolved the strategy of nuclear egress as a highly regulated process of nucleo-cytoplasmic capsid

The universal suppressor mutation restores membrane budding defects in the HSV-1 nuclear egress complex by stabilizing the oligomeric lattice. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensNuclear 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 ...
