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.

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 ...

Virus-derived peptide inhibitors of the herpes simplex virus type 1 nuclear egress complex
Herpesviruses infect a majority of the human population, establishing lifelong latent infections for which there is no cure. Periodic viral reactivation spreads infection to new hosts while causing various disease states particularly detrimental in the ...

pUL21 is a viral phosphatase adaptor that promotes herpes simplex virus replication and spread. [PDF]
The herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 protein pUL21 is essential for efficient virus replication and dissemination. While pUL21 has been shown to promote multiple steps of virus assembly and spread, the molecular basis of its function remained unclear.

Funktionelle Analyse herpesviraler nukleärer Egress-Komplexe - Determinanten der Replikationseffizienz und Zielmoleküle für neue antivirale Strategien [PDF]
The nuclear egress of herpesviruses is a highly conserved process that regulates the nucleocytoplasmic capsid release. For the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), the nuclear egress complex (NEC) is determined by the core proteins pUL50 and pUL53 that ...
