Pore-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell
| Definition | Viral pore-forming protein, associated with the viral capsid, that induces the formation of a transmembrane pore in the host membrane to allow the viral genome to enter the cytoplasm. This mechanism is used by non-enveloped viruses such as human rhinovirus 2, poliovirus, and some bacteriophages. |
