viral genome translocation, membrane puncture-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell, pore-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell, viral entry via genome injection, pore-mediated entry of viral genome into host cell, viral genome delivery via icosahedral vertex, viral pore-forming protein
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Entry of a symbiont's genome into a host cell by a pore formed by the symbiont in the host cell. Examples of this process include injection by a non-enveloped virus of the viral genome into the host cytoplasm, usually mediated by a viral pore-forming peptide associated with the viral capsid or bacteriophage tail. Source: GOC:jl, VZ:979
Comment
This mechanism is used by animal viruses such as poliovirus. Various tailed bacteriophages also carry specialized proteins which open a pore or a channel in the host membrane(s) to allow genome delivery into host cytoplasm.
