fusion of viral membrane with host outer nuclear membrane

Term ID

GO:0039700

Synonyms

• fusion of viral membrane with host outer nuclear membrane involved in nuclear egress
• viral primary envelope fusion with host outer nuclear membrane

Definition

Fusion of a viral primary envelope with the host outer nuclear membrane during nuclear egress. The transitory primary envelope is acquired by the virus as it buds at the inner nuclear membrane and gains access to the perinuclear space. This membrane is lost by fusing with the host outer nuclear membrane during nuclear exit. (2)
