Target data

Function

Forms an icosahedral capsid with a T=7 symmetry and a 40 nm diameter. The capsid is composed of 72 pentamers linked to each other by disulfide bonds and associated with VP2 or VP3 proteins. Binds to N-glycolylneuraminic analog of the ganglioside GM1 on the cell surface to provide virion attachment to target cell (PubMed:18353982). Once attached, the virion is internalized by caveolin-mediated endocytosis and traffics to the endoplasmic reticulum. Inside the endoplasmic reticulum, the protein folding machinery isomerizes VP1 interpentamer disulfide bonds, thereby triggering initial uncoating (PubMed:17981119). Next, the virion uses the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation machinery to probably translocate in the cytosol before reaching the nucleus (PubMed:17981119). Nuclear entry of the viral DNA involves the selective exposure and importin recognition of VP2/Vp3 nuclear localization signal. The assembly takes place in the cell nucleus. Encapsulates the genomic DNA and participates in rearranging nucleosomes around the viral DNA. The viral progenies exit the cells by lytic release.
