The Herpes Simplex Virus Tegument Protein pUL21 is Required for Viral Genome Retention Within Capsids

E. C. M. Thomas, M. Bossert, B. W. Banfield

This study shows that HSV pUL21 is required for genome retention in capsids by regulating pUL16 association, preventing premature capsid destabilization.
