symbiont genome entry into host cell via pore formation in plasma membrane

Term ID

GO:0044694

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.
