Abstract Nuclear envelope budding in herpesvirus nuclear egress may be negatively regulated, since the pUL31/pUL34 nuclear egress complex heterodimer can induce membrane budding without capsids when expressed ectopically or on artificial membranes in vitro, but not in the infected cell. We have previously described a pUL34 mutant that contained alanine substitutions at R158 and R161 and that showed impaired growth, impaired pUL31/pUL34 interaction, and unregulated budding. Here, we determine the phenotypic contributions of the individual substitutions to these phenotypes. Neither substitution alone was able to reproduce the impaired growth or nuclear egress complex (NEC) interaction phenotypes. Either substitution, however, could fully reproduce the unregulated budding phenotype, suggesting that misregulated budding may not substantially impair virus replication. In addition, the R158A substitution caused relocalization of the NEC to intranuclear punctate structures and recruited lamin A/C to these structures, suggesting that this residue might be important for recruitment of kinases for dispersal of nuclear lamins. IMPORTANCE Herpesvirus nuclear egress is a complex, regulated process coordinated by two virus proteins that are conserved among the herpesviruses that form a heterodimeric nuclear egress complex (NEC). The NEC drives budding of capsids at the inner nuclear membrane and recruits other viral and host cell proteins for disruption of the nuclear lamina, membrane scission, and fusion. The structural basis of individual activities of the NEC, apart from membrane budding, are not clear, nor is the basis of the regulation of membrane budding. Here, we explore the properties of NEC mutants that have an unregulated budding phenotype, determine the significance of that regulation for virus replication, and also characterize a structural requirement for nuclear lamina disruption.
