Protein nuclear transport is an integral process to many cellular pathways and often plays a critical role during viral infection. To overcome the barrier presented by the nuclear membrane and gain access to the nucleus, virally encoded proteins have evolved ways to appropriate components of the nuclear transport machinery. By binding karyopherins, or the nuclear pore complex, viral proteins influence their own transport as well as the transport of key cellular regulatory proteins. This review…

A review of the variety of strategies HCMV utilizes to dysregulate intracellular trafficking networks to promote productive infection.

Strength in Diversity: Nuclear Export of Viral RNAs

This review gives an overview of the cellular mRNA nuclear export mechanisms and presents detailed insights into the most important strategies that viruses use to export the different forms of their RNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Quantification of nuclear transport inhibition by SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 using a broadly applicable live-cell dose-response pipeline

It is proposed that the hydrophobic N-terminal region drives oligomerization of ORF6 to multivalently cross-link the FG domains of NUP98 at the nuclear pore complex, and this multivalent binding inhibits bidirectional transport.

Nuclear-localized human respiratory syncytial virus NS1 protein modulates host gene transcription

STING Nuclear Partners Contribute to Innate Immune Signalling Responses

It is found that STING in the inner nuclear membrane increases mobility and changes localization upon IIR activation both from dsDNA and poly(I:C) stimuli, which suggest that the many roles identified for STING likely reflect its interactions with multiple RNA and DNA-binding proteins that also function in IIR.

Suppression of classical nuclear import pathway by importazole and ivermectin inhibits rotavirus replication.

In vitro studies revealed that treatment of ivermectin and importazole resulted in reduced synthesis of viral proteins, diminished production of infectious virus particles, and decrease in viroplasm-positive cells, and Mechanistic study proved that both drugs perform antirotavirus activity by inhibiting the function of importin-β1.

It is found that E6 could significantly reduce the cellular level of KPNA1 that resulted in the suppression of nuclear transport of phosphorylated STAT1 and the inhibition of interferon‐γ‐induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells, demonstrating a new role of E6 in down‐regulating nuclear transport proteins to attenuate tumor‐suppressive signaling.

Influenza virus uses transportin 1 for vRNP debundling during cell entry

It is shown that transportin 1, a member of the importin-β family proteins, binds to a PY-NLS2 sequence motif close to the amino terminus of matrix protein (M1) exposed during acid priming of the viral core, and promotes its removal from the viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs), enabling disassembly of vRNP bundles.
