What virus replicates in the nucleus?
Influenza A Virus Cell Entry, Replication, Virion Assembly and Movement. Influenza viruses replicate within the nucleus of the host cell. This uncommon RNA virus trait provides influenza with the advantage of access to the nuclear machinery during replication.
Do RNA viruses go into nucleus?
Most DNA and few RNA viruses target their genome to the host nucleus. The crossing of nuclear membrane occurs in several ways : -RNA virus, dsDNA virus and lentivirus genomes enter via the nuclear pore complex (NPC) through the cellular Importin transport.
Where do RNA viruses replicate?
the cytoplasmRNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm and is carried out by the viral RNA polymerase. The full length plus strand is coated with nucleocapsid protein as it is made (mRNAs are not coated with this protein, which would interfere with the host protein translation machinery).
Does adenovirus enter nucleus?
Abstract. Adenovirus targets its genome to the cell nucleus by a multistep process involving endocytosis, membrane penetration and cytoplasmic transport, and finally imports its DNA into the nucleus.
