Abstract
The protein encoded by ORF9 is essential for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) replication. Previous studies documented its presence in the trans-Golgi network and its involvement in secondary envelopment. In this work, we deleted the ORF9p acidic cluster, destroying its interaction with ORF47p, and this resulted in a nuclear accumulation of both proteins. This phenotype results in an accumulation of primary enveloped capsids in the perinuclear space, reflecting a capsid de-envelopment defect.Entities:
