Dysregulated gBcyt-mediated cell fusion affects the expression kinetics of vital ORFs during infection. The proportions of RNA-seq TPM values, ORF9/ORF, for ORF14 (A), ORF61 (B), ORF67 (C), and ORF68 (D) that were significantly different between wild-type-like VZV (pOka and gB[Y920F]) and the hyperfusogenic mutants (gB[Y881F] and gB[Y881/920F]) are shown.
