Identification of Poxvirus Genome Uncoating and DNA Replication Factors with Mutually Redundant Roles
18 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Genome uncoating is essential for replication of most viruses. For poxviruses, the process is divided into two stages: removal of the envelope, allowing early gene expression, and breaching of the core wall, allowing DNA release, replication, and late gene expression. Subsequent studies showed that the host proteasome and the viral D5 protein, which has an essential role in DNA replication, are required...
