Morphogenesis of the Cytomegalovirus Virion and Subviral Particles

Morphogenesis of the Cytomegalovirus Virion and Subviral Particles

from Wade Gibson and Elke Bogner writing in Cytomegaloviruses: From Molecular Pathogenesis to Intervention:

Formation and maturation of the cytomegalovirus capsid is reviewed. Recent information about protein-protein interactions involved in capsid assembly, molecular interactions relating to the mechanism of DNA packaging, and the sequence of events in primary envelopment is considered as it establishes similarities and reveals differences between CMV and other herpesviruses.
