Host-virus interaction
| Definition | Viral protein involved in a direct and specific interaction with a host macromolecule. Viruses interact with many cellular pathways to achieve their replication cycle. Entry into the host cell, transport to the viral replication sites or viral budding are all steps that require interaction between the host and the virus. Additionally, the evasion from the host immune response requires a lot of viral proteins to associate with and inhibit cellular proteins with antiviral functions. |
