Type: | Family | Name: | Baculovirus occlusion-derived virus envelope, E66 |
Description: | Baculovirus occlusion-derived virus (ODV) derives its envelope from an intranuclear membrane source. N-terminal amino acid sequences of the Autographa californica MNPVnuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) envelope protein ODV-E66 is highly hydrophobic. This defined hydrophobic domain was shown to direct the protein, E66, to induce membrane microvesicles within a baculovirus-infected cell nucleus and the viral envelope. In addition, it was suggested that movement of this protein into the nuclear envelope may initiate through cytoplasmic membranes, such as endoplasmic reticulum, and that transport into the nucleus may be mediated through the outer and inner nuclear membrane []. | Short Name: | Baculo_ODV-E66 |
