The herpesvirus UL51 protein is a multifunctional tegument protein involved in the regulation of multiple aspects of the viral life cycle. This article reviews the biological characteristics of the UL51 protein and its functions in herpesviruses, including participating in the maintenance of the viral assembly complex (cVAC) during viral assembly, affecting the production of mature viral particles and promoting primary and secondary envelopment, as well as its positive impact on viral cell-to-cell spread (CCS) through interactions with multiple viral proteins and its key role in the proliferation and pathogenicity of the virus in the later stage of infection. This paper discusses how the UL51 protein participates in the life cycle of herpesviruses and provides new ideas for further research on UL51 protein function.
疱疹病毒UL51蛋白是一种多功能的包膜蛋白,参与病毒生命周期多个方面的调控。本文综述了UL51蛋白的生物学特性及其在疱疹病毒中的功能,包括在病毒组装过程中参与维持病毒组装复合体(cVAC)、影响成熟病毒颗粒的产生并促进一级和二级包膜化,以及通过与多种病毒蛋白相互作用对病毒细胞间传播(CCS)产生的积极影响及其在感染后期病毒增殖和致病性中的关键作用。本文探讨了UL51蛋白如何参与疱疹病毒的生命周期,并为进一步研究UL51蛋白的功能提供了新思路。
