Biological function summary

Gp64 functions as a critical component in the lifecycle of baculoviruses. During the infection cycle it facilitates the binding and entry of viral particles acting as a fusion protein. Gp64 is a part of the larger viral envelope protein framework which helps the virus adapt and interact with the host cell's membrane. Its role extends beyond simple attachment as it initiates the processes leading to successful viral replication within the host cell.

Pathways

Gp64 participates in the endocytosis pathway important for viral entry into host cells. It interacts with cellular membrane proteins both directly and indirectly ensuring fusion and release of viral contents. Gp64 shares a functional relationship with other viral envelope proteins like those found in orthologous systems such as the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein. This interaction highlights its integral role in the viral infection process.
