UniProt functional annotation for P14348

UniProt code: P14348.

Organism: Epstein-Barr virus (strain B95-8) (HHV-4) (Human herpesvirus 4).
Taxonomy: Viruses; Duplodnaviria; Heunggongvirae; Peploviricota; Herviviricetes; Herpesvirales; Herpesviridae; Gammaherpesvirinae; Lymphocryptovirus.
 
Function: Participates in the assembly of the infectious particles by decorating the outer surface of the capsid shell and thus forming a layer between the capsid and the tegument. Complexes composed of the major capsid protein and small capsomere-interacting protein/SCP assemble together in the host cytoplasm and are translocated to the nucleus, where they accumulate and participate in capsid assembly. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04022}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with the major capsid protein/MCP. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04022}.
Subcellular location: Virion {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04022}. Host nucleus {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04022}.
Similarity: Belongs to the herpesviridae small capsomere-interacting protein family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04022}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=CAA24838.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
