The role of the host cell nucleus in vaccinia virus morphogenesis

R W Moyer. Virus Res. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

Despite the fact that cells infected with wild type vaccinia virus synthesize viral DNA and assemble progeny virus particles within the cytoplasm, the host cell nucleus is required for a productive infection. Recent evidence suggests that vaccinia virus selectively recruits components from the host cell nucleus into the cytoplasm for use by the developing virus. One of these components is the largest subunit of the cellular RNA polymerase II (Pol II).
