Epstein-Barr virus

the export of RNPs by producing nuclear export signals and binding with RNP to form a complex that can be exported (Paterson and Fodor, 2012). M proteins also plays crucial role when the new virus buds off. It blocks the nuclear pores to stop re-entry of the newly formed RNAs and allows assembly of the new virus. M proteins can bind the phospholipid tail of the cell membrane with the viral envelope of the glycoproteins around the encapsidated RNA and bud off the host cell (Figure 1)…
