Figure 8From: Nuclear localization of Newcastle disease virus matrix protein promotes virus replication by affecting viral RNA synthesis and transcription and inhibiting host cell transcriptionThe schematic diagram of the replication and transcription of NDV genome and the potential functions of M protein in the nucleus. Transcription and replication of the NDV genome occurs in the cytoplasm by the action of viral RNP. During the course of NDV infection, the M protein is localized in the nucleus early in infection and enters the cytoplasm and binds to the cellular membrane later in infection. The potential functions of M in the nucleus are indicated according to our findings.Back to article page
