Description
Viruses have limited genome-coding capacities and must thereforerely on their host cells to facilitate every step of the infectioncycle from the replication of their genomes, transcription andtranslation of mRNAs to virus assembly. Aimed at virologists andcell biologists Viruses and the Nucleus provides acomprehensive and cohesive overview of this fascinating and fastmoving field. It compares and contrasts the ways in which DNAviruses, retroviruses and RNA viruses interact with the host cellnucleus to bring about replication and how they subvert the hostcell function to proliferate and survive. Written by a team of leading experts in the field, thismulti-authored text begins with an introduction to the key nuclearprocess that effect virus biology including cell cycle,transcription, splicing and protein trafficking. It then goes on toexplore the advances that have been made in understanding the waysin which specific viruses interact with nuclear sub-structures suchas the nucleolus and ND10s, and the implications thisinterrelationship has for the cell cycle as a whole.Key FeaturesComprehensive cross disciplinary coverage of theinterrelationship between cell biology and virology.Written by leading experts, this authorative book provides anup to date overview of this highly active field.Covers the latest research areas including virus interactionswith sub-nuclear structures, virus protein trafficking into and outof the nucleus and subversion of host-cell function throughspecific nuclear interactions.Viruses and the Nucleus is an invaluable resource forstudents of virology, microbiology and cell biology as well as forthose who work within the industry. - from Amzon
