UniProt functional annotation for P03233

UniProt code: P03233.

Organism: Epstein-Barr virus (strain B95-8) (HHV-4) (Human herpesvirus 4).
Taxonomy: Viruses; Duplodnaviria; Heunggongvirae; Peploviricota; Herviviricetes; Herpesvirales; Herpesviridae; Gammaherpesvirinae; Lymphocryptovirus.
 
Function: Capsid vertex-specific component that plays a role during viral DNA encapsidation, assuring correct genome cleavage and presumably stabilizing capsids that contain full-length viral genomes. Participates in the interaction between the capsid and the tegument through interaction with the large tegument protein/LTP. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04025}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimerizes with CVC1. Interacts with major capsid protein/MCP and triplex capsid protein 1/TRX1 at the pentamer vertices. Interacts with the large tegument protein/LTP. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_04025}.
Subcellular location: Virion {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04025, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534216}. Host nucleus {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_04025}.
Similarity: Belongs to the herpesviridae CVC2 protein family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04025}.
