ER protein CLCC1 promotes nuclear envelope fusion in herpesviral and host processes - Nature Communications
Herpesvirales utilize a unique nuclear egress route for capsid export. Here the authors show that herpesviruses exploit a cellular membrane protein, once thought to transport chloride, to facilitate membrane fusion and egress from the nucleus.
