Intracellular Transport of the Measles Virus Ribonucleoprotein Complex Is Mediated by Rab11A-Positive Recycling Endosomes and Drives Virus Release from the Apical Membrane of Polarized Epithelial Cells

Abstract excerpt

Many viruses use the host trafficking system at a variety of their replication steps. Measles virus (MV) possesses a nonsegmented negative-strand RNA genome that encodes three components of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex (N, P, and L), two surface glycoproteins, a matrix protein, and two nonstructural proteins. A subset of immune cells and polarized epithelial cells are in vivo targets of MV, and MV is...
