Black ribbon
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.
Amos Bairoch

Name Gammaherpesvirus glycoprotein L (gL) domain
Function Two glycoprotein complexes are conserved throughout the three herpesvirus subfamilies: the trimeric glycoprotein B (gB) that functions as a membrane fusogen and the heterodimeric glycoprotein H/glycoprotein L (gH/gL), the role of which is less clearly defined. The intrinsic structural plasticity of gH/gL enables it to function as a signal integration machine that can accept diverse regulatory inputs and convert them into a "trigger" signal that activates the fusogenic ability of gB.
Scope(s) Viruses
Gammaherpesvirinae
Example(s) P03212;

Identifier, protein and gene names [?]

Protein name + AltName: Full=Envelope glycoprotein L;
                 Short=gL;

Comments [?]

SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONVirion membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Extracellular side. Host cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Extracellular side. Host Golgi apparatus, host trans-Golgi network. Note=gL associates with the extravirion surface through its binding to gH. During virion morphogenesis, this protein probably accumulates in the host trans-Golgi where secondary envelopment occurs.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein L (gL) family. Gammaherpesvirinae gL subfamily.
