Virology Selected Animal Virus Taxonomy for Ch. Is endocytosed into coated vesicle. When pH drops, capsid changes surface conformation and ruptures vesicle membrane, releasing virion into cytoplasm.
Microtubules move the virion to the nucleus, and viral DNA moves in through a nuclear pore.
Virus replicates in nucleus of host cell. Only viral DNA is released into nucleoplasm, through a nuclear pore. Enters cell by direct fusion. Other members of Retroviridae enter cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis.
