Structural highlights
3n4p is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Human herpesvirus 5 strain Towne. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
TRM3_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).
