“…For the study of HCMV, the UL99 transcript has been identified as a rapid marker of therapy effectiveness. Through a qRT-PCR assay analysis of 18 bronchoalveolar lavage samples from patients who were or were not subjected to antiviral treatment in vivo and vitro, UL99 has been developed as an antiviral control (Gambarino et al, 2014). In the past, it was difficult to study L gene promoters, as they were expressed in a disorderly fashion in transient assays (Kohler et al, 1994).…”

The herpesvirus UL11 protein is encoded by the UL11 gene and is a membrane-anchored protein with multiple functions. In the last stage of viral replication, UL11 participates in the secondary envelopment process. It also plays a key role in primary envelopment, the transportation of newly assembled viral particles through cytoplasmic vesicles, and virion egress from the cell. UL11 is an important accessory protein and sometimes cooperates with other proteins that participate in virus-induced cell fusion. Cell fusion is necessary for cell-to-cell transmissions. This review summarizes the latest literature and discusses the roles of UL11 in viral assembly, primary and secondary envelopment, and cell-to-cell transmission to obtain a better understanding of the UL11 protein in the life cycle of herpesviruses and to serve as a reference for studying other viruses. Additionally, some recently discovered characteristics of UL11 are summarized.
