pfam04523: Herpes_U30 (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Herpes virus tegument protein U30
This family is named after the human herpesvirus protein, but has been characterised in cytomegalovirus as UL47. Cytomegalovirus UL47 is a component of the tegument, which is a protein layer surrounding the viral capsid. UL47 co-precipitates with UL48 and UL69 tegument proteins, and the major capsid protein UL86. A UL47-containing complex is thought to be involved in the release of viral DNA from the disassembling virus particle.
