Human Cytomegalovirus Genomes Survive Mitosis via the IE19 Chromatin-Tethering Domain

ABSTRACT The genomes of DNA tumor viruses regain nuclear localization after nuclear envelope breakdown during mitosis through the action of a viral protein with a chromatin-tethering domain (CTD). Here, we report that the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome is maintained during mitosis by the CTD of...
