Biological function summary

The protein plays a critical role in the formation of the viral capsid acting as a fundamental component of the virus's architecture. VP664 is a part of the complex that constitutes the protective external layer of the virus enabling it to survive in aquatic environments and effectively infect host organisms. This structural protein interacts with other viral proteins helping in the efficient assembly of viral particles necessary for the spread of the infection within and across host species.

Pathways

VP664 interacts with cellular pathways involved in protein synthesis and viral assembly. It is important to the viral entry pathway allowing the virus to penetrate host cells and establish infection. In this context VP664 exhibits functional interactions with other WSSV proteins such as VP28 which also play roles in viral entry and in overcoming host immune responses. This coordination ensures efficient viral propagation and maximizes viral replication within the host.
