Because previous studies had clearly demonstrated that phosphorylation of Grasp65 was required for Golgi membrane fragmentation during mitosis, our findings that Grasp65 was phosphorylated provided insight into the mechanism that drives remodeling of the Golgi apparatus during HCMV infection (37, 43, 44, 48, 51). Here, GORASP1 is linked to cytomegalovirus infection.
