In the study results now published, the researchers were able to prove that the portal cap protein (pORF19) also pentamerises in solution and provide insights into how pentamerisation might be triggered [...] triggered in infected cells. Furthermore, structure-based mutagenesis on the lateral contact sites of this pORF19 pentamer, resulting in a blockade of pentamerisation, revealed severely impaired production of [...] paper "Assembly of infectious Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus progeny requires formation of a pORF19 pentamer" can be found here .
