This study shows that phosphorylation-regulated condensation of the HCMV protein pp150 couples tegument assembly to membrane recruitment, supporting viral replication.

This study identifies the gM/gN glycoprotein complex and palmitoylation as essential for initiating secondary envelopment of HCMV capsids, revealing their role in spatially organizing viral assembly within the cVAC.

This study identifies a viral motif in pUL71 that mimics cellular ESCRT-III components to recruit VPS4A to the HCMV assembly site, though its functional role remains unclear.
