摘要

HSV-1 genome, apart from glycoproteins critical for egress to host cells, encodes several additional membrane proteins. Among them, UL45-a class II protein dispensable for growth in vitro-was recently determined as an important virulence factor of HSV-1 neurotropism. To investigate the molecular mechanism of UL45 activity we applied the state-of-the-art bioinformatic methods for protein structure prediction. Results of this study clearly show that UL45 encodes a C-type lectin fold protein. The identification of a novel potentially targetable domain has direct implications for guiding further research on inhibition of HSV-1 transmission to neural cells by carbohydrate or glycomimetic antagonists.The transmission of virus particles is one of limiting steps of viral life cycle. Viruses utilize common receptors localized on the variety of tissues, but the clinical picture suggests that the associated disease usually affects only the selected types of cells. The selection of the subset of body cells (cell tropism) can be a result of either anatomical barriers or a nature of host-pathogen specific interactions.
