Protein
Small capsomere-interacting protein
Organism
Alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (strain C500)
Function
Participates in the assembly of the infectious particles by decorating the outer surface of the capsid shell and thus forming a layer between the capsid and the tegument. Complexes composed of the major capsid protein and small capsomere-interacting protein/SCP assemble together in the host cytoplasm and are translocated to the nucleus, where they accumulate and participate in capsid assembly.
Similarity
Belongs to the herpesviridae small capsomere-interacting protein family.
