Identification of Marek’s Disease Virus VP22 Tegument Protein Domains Essential for Virus Cell-to-Cell Spread, Nuclear Localization, Histone Association and Cell-Cycle Arrest

VP22 is a major tegument protein of alphaherpesviruses encoded by the <i>UL49</i> gene. Two properties of VP22 were discovered by studying Marek&#8217;s disease virus (MDV), the Mardivirus prototype; it has a major role in virus cell-to-cell spread and in cell cycle modulation. This...
