Journal: J Virol / Year: 2020 Title: Role of the Herpes Simplex Virus CVSC Proteins at the Capsid Portal Vertex.

For herpes simplex virus, this process requires the products of seven viral genes: the terminase proteins pUL15, pUL28, and pUL33; the capsid vertex-specific component (CVSC) proteins pUL17 and pUL25; and the portal proteins pUL6 and pUL32. The pUL6 portal dodecamer is anchored at one vertex of the capsid by interactions with the adjacent triplexes as well as helical density attributed to the pUL17 and pUL25 subunits of the CVSC. To define the roles and structures of the CVSC proteins in virus assembly and DNA packaging, we isolated a number of recombinant viruses expressing pUL25, pUL17, and pUL36 fused with green or red fluorescent proteins as well as viruses with specific deletions in the CVSC genes. Biochemical and structural studies of these mutants demonstrated that (i) four of the helices in the CVSC helix bundle can be attributed to two copies each of pUL36 and pUL25, (ii) pUL17 and pUL6 are required for capsid binding of the terminase complex in the nucleus, (iii) pUL17 is important for determining the site of the first cleavage reaction generating replicated genomes with termini derived from the long-arm component of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) genome, (iv) pUL36 serves no direct role in cleavage/packaging, (v) cleavage and stable packaging of the viral genome involve an ordered interaction of the terminase complex and pUL25 with pUL17 at the portal vertex, and (vi) packaging of the viral genome results in a dramatic displacement of the portal. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is the causative agent of several pathologies ranging in severity from the common cold sore to life-threatening encephalitic infection. A critical step during productive HSV-1 infection is the cleavage and packaging of replicated, concatemeric viral DNA into preformed capsids. A key knowledge gap is how the capsid engages the replicated viral genome and the subsequent packaging of a unit-length HSV genome. Here, biochemical and structural studies focused on the unique portal vertex of wild-type HSV and packaging mutants provide insights into the mechanism of HSV genome packaging. The significance of our research is in identifying the portal proteins pUL6 and pUL17 as key viral factors for engaging the terminase complex with the capsid and the subsequent cleavage, packaging, and stable incorporation of the viral genome in the HSV-1 capsid.

In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
