For purification of HA-tagged pUL56, the cell-free reaction was performed with Anti-HA Immunoprecipitation Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Sigma-Aldrich, USA).
For purification of His-tagged pUL89, the cell-free reaction was performed with Ni resin (Clontech, USA).
All proteins were concentrated approximately 5-fold using Pall centrifugal filters (Pall, USA), and protein concentration was determined by the Bradford method using bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) as standard protein.
