Abstract:

The capsid of herpesvirus is composed of a major capsid protein called VP5 and three less abundant proteins, VP19C, VP23 and VP26. VP5 is the structural subunit of all 162 capsomers while VP19C and VP23 are located in the space between the capsomers. In addition to the structural proteins, capsid assembly involves participation of the protease and the scaffolding protein,preVP22a. Applying of cryoelectron microscopy and recombinant baculoviruses techniques have made considerable advances in understanding the capsid shell.The former has been allowed for a detailed analysis of the structure of the capsid. And the latter has been developed which has aided in de?ning the assembly pathway by identifying intermediates in the assembly of intact capsids. This review is a summary of our present knowledge with respect to the capsid protein and assembly of the herpesvirus capsid.

Key words: herpesvirus, capsid, assembly
