Nuclear delivery mechanism of herpes simplex virus type 1 genome
1 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a widespread human pathogen infecting more than 80% of the population worldwide. Its replication involves an essential, poorly understood multistep process, referred to as uncoating. Uncoating steps are as follows: (1) The incoming capsid pinpoints the nuclear pore complex (NPC). (2) It opens up at the NPC and releases the highly pressurized viral genome. (3) The viral...
