Uncoupling Uncoating of Herpes Simplex Virus Genomes from Their Nuclear Import and Gene Expression
24 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Incoming capsids of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) enter the cytosol by fusion of the viral envelopes with host cell membranes and use microtubules and microtubule motors for transport to the nucleus. Upon docking to the nuclear pores, capsids release their genomes into the nucleoplasm. Progeny genomes are replicated in the nucleoplasm and subsequently packaged into newly assembled capsids. The minor capsid...
