FunctionFunction
[TERL_HCMVA] Component of the molecular motor that translocates genomic DNA in empty capsid during DNA packaging. Heterodimerizes with small terminase protein to be docked on capsid portal protein. The latter forms a ring in which genomic DNA in translocated into the capsid. May have or induce an endonuclease activity to cleave the genome concatemer after encapsidation (By similarity).
