Primary Identifier | IPR035110 | Type | Family |
Short Name | UL42 |
description | Members of this family include UL42 proteins found in Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). UL42 has two Pro-Pro-X-Tyr (PPxY) sequences, a hydrophobic region at the C terminus and no N-terminal signal peptide. These features are shared with herpes simplex virus (HSV) UL56. UL42 has a putative C-terminal trans-membrane region. HCMV UL42 interacts with Itch, a member of the Nedd4 family of ubiquitin E3 ligases, through its PY motifs as observed in HSV UL56, suggestive of a regulatory function []. |
