Protein
Tripartite terminase subunit 2
Organism
Equine herpesvirus 1 (strain Ab4p)
Function
Component of the molecular motor that translocates viral genomic DNA in empty capsid during DNA packaging. Forms a tripartite terminase complex together with TRM1 and TRM3 in the host cytoplasm. Once the complex reaches the host nucleus, it interacts with the capsid portal vertex. This portal forms a ring in which genomic DNA is translocated into the capsid.
Similarity
Belongs to the herpesviridae TRM2 protein family.
