Term Information

Accession
GO:0044694
Name
pore-mediated entry of viral genome into host cell
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
pore-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell, viral entry via genome injection, viral genome translocation, membrane puncture-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell, viral pore-forming protein, viral genome delivery via icosahedral vertex
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Injection by a non-enveloped virus of the viral genome into the host cytoplasm through creation of a pore or channel in the host cell membrane(s). Usually mediated by a viral pore-forming peptide associated with the viral capsid or bacteriophage tail. Source: UniProtKB-KW:KW-1172, 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.
