exit of virus from host cell nucleus by nuclear egress

Term ID

GO:0046802

Synonyms

• capsid egress
• egress of viral procapsid from host cell nucleus
• nuclear egress
• nuclear egress of viral procapsid

Definition

The directed movement of an assembled viral particle out of the host cell nucleus by budding and fusion through the nuclear membranes. In this process, enveloped viral particles are formed by budding through the inner nuclear membrane. These perinuclear enveloped particles then fuse with the outer nuclear membrane to deliver a naked capsid into the host cytoplasm. (4)
