Overview
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) (human herpesvirus 5) glycoprotein B is a 907-amino acid glycoprotein encoded by the ORF of UL55. It is the most abundant component of the envelope with at least two defined neutralizing epitopes, a target of neutralizing antibodies and an essential replication component. The synthesized gB precursor matures into a 130-160 kDa glycoprotein by acquiring N-linked glycosylation modifications, and is cleaved by the cellular protease furin into two components, a 93-116 kDa N-terminal fragment and a 55 kDa C-terminal fragment linked by a disulfide-bond, which is presented on the viral envelope as well as on the surface of virus-infected cells as a covalently associated homodimer. gB plays important roles in HCMV entry, cell-cell spread of internal virions, and fusion of infected cells. It triggers penetration of cells and enhances the spread of infection in nonpolarized human fibroblasts. -
