Crystal structure of vaccinia viral A27 protein reveals a novel structure critical for its function and complex formation with A26 protein.
Vaccinia virus envelope protein A27 has multiple functions and is conserved in the Orthopoxvirus genus of the poxvirus family. A27 protein binds to cell surface heparan sulfate, provides an anchor for A26 protein packaging into mature virions, and is essential for egress of mature virus (MV) from in...
