General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Self-assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=16 symmetry, about 200 nm in diameter, and consisting of 150 hexons and 12 pentons (total of 162 capsomers). Hexons form the edges and faces of the capsid and are each composed of six MCP molecules. In contrast, one penton is found at each of the 12 vertices. Eleven of the pentons are MCP pentamers, while the last vertex is occupied by the portal complex. The capsid is surrounded by a layer of proteinaceous material designated the tegument which, in turn, is enclosed in an envelope of host cell-derived lipids containing virus-encoded glycoproteins. |
| Subunit structure | Homomultimer. Makes the hexons and eleven out of twelve pentons. Interacts with VP19C and VP23; Adjacent capsomers are linked together in groups of three by triplexes, heterotrimeric complexes composed of one molecule of VP19C and two molecules of VP23. Interacts with VP22A; this interaction allows efficient MCP transport to the host nucleus. Interacts with VP26. Interacts with virion-packaging protein UL25. |

| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the herpesviridae major capsid protein family. |
