DESCRIPTION

Also known as TRX1_EBVB9, TRX1. Structural component of the T=16 icosahedral capsid. The capsid is composed of pentamers and hexamers of major capsid protein/MCP, which are linked together by heterotrimers called triplexes. These triplexes are formed by a single molecule of triplex protein 1/TRX1 and two copies of triplex protein 2/TRX2. Additionally, TRX1 is required for efficient transport of TRX2 to the nucleus, which is the site of capsid assembly. Interacts with TRX2, MCP and capsid vertex component 2/CVC2.
