Term Name: | symbiont genome entry into host cell via pore formation in plasma membrane |
---|---|
Synonyms: | membrane puncture-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell, pore-mediated entry of viral genome into host cell, pore-mediated penetration of viral genome into host cell, viral entry via genome injection, viral genome delivery via icosahedral vertex, viral genome translocation, viral pore-forming protein |
Definition: | Entry of a symbiont's genome into a host cell by a pore formed by the symbiont in the host cell. Examples of this process include injection by a non-enveloped virus of the viral genome into the host cytoplasm, usually mediated by a viral pore-forming peptide associated with the viral capsid or bacteriophage tail. |
