Objective:This study aims to identify human herpesvirus 6(HHV-6) binding partner for glycoprotein 96(gp96),and analyze the effect of their interaction on HHV-6 infection. Methods:Immunoprecipitation,Western blot and confocal microscopyassays were used to identify and verify the interaction between gp96 and HHV-6 glycoprotein B(gB). Effect of Gp96 on gB maturation was analyzed using exosome samples. Results:Immunoprecipitation results showed that HHV-6 gB interacted with gp96;gB and gp96 were colocalized,which was detected by confocal microscopy assays. Western blot results confirmed that overexpression of gp96 affected the maturation of gB. Conclusion:The gp96 is a binding partner for HHV-6 gB,and gp96 affects the maturation process of gB.
