FAMILY

herpesviridae small capsomere-interacting protein family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as SCP_EBVB9, SCP. 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. Interacts with the major capsid protein/MCP.
