Wuhu Second People s Hospital, Wuhu , China; 2. Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing , China Abstract: Human herpesvirus 6 ( HHV-6), a double-stranded DNA virus, is a member of the herpes subfamily. It has been hypothesized that the HHV-6 genome may code 80 to 100 different proteins, including membrane proteins, immediate early ( IE) proteins, DNA packaging proteins, and virus assembly proteins, etc. In this article, the research progress regarding the features and functions of proteins encoded by the HHV-6 gene is reviewed. Key words: Human herpesvirus 6; Gene encoding proteins; Features and functions of proteins 6 ( human herpesvirus 6, HHV-6) T DNA, 1986 ( acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS), HHV-6 HHV-6, HHV-6A HHV-6B HHV-6A GS U1102, HHV-6B Z29, A B 96%, HHV-6, ( immediate early, IE) HHV-6 1 HHV-6 HHV-6 DNA, kb, 3, ( unique long region, UL ), 1 ( DRL DRR ) HHV ( open reading frame, ORF), UL 100, DRL DRR 8, 102 ORF, P100 IE gh HHV-6 40, DNA 2 HHV-6 HHV , : ( ) :, yaokun@ njmu. edu. cn Corresponding author: YAO Kun, yaokun@ njmu. edu. cn IE DNA DNA, IE
