The XPO6 Exportin Mediates Herpes Simplex Virus 1 gM Nuclear Release Late in Infection.

ABSTRACT: The glycoprotein M of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is dynamically relocated from nuclear membranes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) during infection, but molecular partners that promote this relocalization are unknown. Furthermore, while the presence of the virus is essential for this phenomenon, it is not clear if this is facilitated by viral or host proteins. Past attempts to characterize glycoprotein M (gM) interacting partners identified the viral protein gN by coimmunoprecipitation and the host protein E-Syt1 through a proteomics approach. Interestingly, both proteins modulate the activity of gM on the viral fusion machinery. However, neither protein is targeted to the nuclear membrane and consequently unlikely explains the dynamic regulation of gM nuclear localization. We thus reas
