Data class Domain
Predictors PROSITE; PS52026; GL_GHV
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.

Propagated annotation [?]


Description [?]

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

Comments [?]

Subcellular location Virion 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. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04034}.
Similarity Belongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein L (gL) family. Gammaherpesvirinae gL subfamily.
