The cDNAs encoding hCMV iE11–328 and iE11–289 fused to an N-terminal FLAG tag were obtained by gene synthesis (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.) and then cloned into the pCDNA.3 vector (Invitrogen) (pCDNA3-FLAG-hCMV iE11–382 [BUG 3779; Bacteria-Cell Interactions laboratory's bacteria collection] and pCDNA3-FLAG-hCMV iE11–289 [BUG 3780]). The plasmids encoding YFP-CBD, a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) chimera protein of the cell wall binding domain (CBD) from the Listeria phage endolysin Ply118 (BUG 2305; kind gift from J. Swanson, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), and Sp100 (pSG5-Sp100WT [BUG 4134] and its derivative pSG5-Sp100K297R [BUG 4135]) have been described previously (11 (link), 57 (link)).
