Short Name | Herpes_virus_tegument |
description | This is a family of major tegument proteins from Herpesviruses. Herpesvirus tegument proteins counteract the intrinsic anti-viral defenses and support the early steps of infection. BNRF1 is the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) major tegument protein and plays an important role in viral transport from the endosomes to the nucleus []. Furthermore, it supports EBV early infection by interacting with host nuclear protein Daxx and disrupting the formation of the Daxx-ATRX chromatin remodeling complex []. |
