Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how ancient viruses, like herpes, move their protective capsids from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in infected cells.
- They found that these viruses use a process involving a host protein called CLCC1, crucial for the fusion of capsids with the inner nuclear membrane.
- The absence of CLCC1 hampers viral spread and leads to problems within the cell's structures, indicating that viruses have evolved to exploit ancient cellular mechanisms for their transmission.
