FAMILY

herpesviridae polymerase accessory protein family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as VPAP_HCMVA, UL44. Accessory subunit of the DNA polymerase that acts to increase the processivity of polymerization. Forms homodimers. Interacts with host SMARCB1. Interacts with host NCL/nucleolin; this interaction is important for the organization of proteins within viral replication compartments. Interacts with UL112/UL113; this interaction is necessary for efficient viral DNA replication. Interacts with UL84. Interacts with the uracil DNA glycosylase UL114. Interacts with the DNA polymerase catalytic subunit UL54.
