ABSTRACT
The viral nuclear egress complex (NEC) allows herpesvirus capsids to escape from the nucleus without compromising the nuclear envelope integrity. The NEC lattice assembles on the inner nuclear membrane and mediates the budding of nascent nucleocapsids into the perinuclear space and their subsequent release into the cytosol. Its essential role makes it a potent antiviral target, necessitating structural information in the context of a cellular infection. Here we determined structures of NEC-capsid interfaces in situ using electron cryo-tomography, showing a substantial structural heterogeneity. In addition, while the capsid is associated with budding initiation, it is not required for curvature formation. By determining the NEC structure in several conformations, we show that curvature arises from an asymmetric assembly of disordered and hexagonally ordered lattice domains independent of pUL25 or other viral capsid vertex components. Our results advance our understanding of the mechanism of nuclear egress in the context of a living cell.
