Highly Basic Clusters in the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Nuclear Egress Complex Drive Membrane Budding by Inducing Lipid Ordering

August 24, 2021
Author(s)
Michael K. Thorsen, Alex Lai, Michelle W. Lee, David Hoogerheide, Gerard C. Wong, Jack H. Freed, Ekaterina Heldwein
During replication of herpesviruses, capsids escape from the nucleus into the cytoplasm by budding at the inner nuclear membrane. This process is mediated by the viral nuclear egress complex (NEC), but how the NEC interacts with lipids or generates

Enhanced Magnetic Interaction by Face-Shared Hydride Anions in 6H-BaCrO 2 H
