The Portal Vertex of KSHV Promotes Docking of Capsids at the Nuclear Pores by Daniela Dünn-Kittenplon, Asaf Ashkenazy-Titelman, Inna Kalt, Jean-Paul Lellouche, Yaron Shav-Tal, Ronit Sarid

“…As ORF43-null capsids exhibit lower extent of association with the NPCs, we conclude that although not essential, the portal has a role in mediating the interaction of the CVSC proteins with Nups, and suggest a model whereby WT capsids can dock at the nuclear envelope through a non-portal penton vertex, resulting in an infection ‘dead end’.…”
