Nuclear Export of the Nonenveloped Parvovirus Virion Is Directed by an Unordered Protein Signal Exposed on the Capsid Surface
14 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
It is uncertain whether nonenveloped karyophilic virus particles may actively traffic from the nucleus outward. The unordered amino-terminal domain of the VP2 major structural protein (2Nt) of the icosahedral parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) is internal in empty capsids, but it is exposed outside of the shell through the fivefold axis of symmetry in virions with an encapsidated single-stranded DNA genome, as...
