Viral interactions with the host-cell cytoskeleton: the role of retroviral proteases
R B Luftig et al. Trends Microbiol. 1994 May.
Abstract
A surprisingly large number of animal viruses interact with cytoskeletal elements inside infected cells at different stages of replication. For example, a viral protease is activated during assembly of murine leukemia viruses at the cell surface, which causes both the morphological conversion of 'immature' to 'mature' particles and a drastic reduction of the actin stress fiber network.
