endosome membrane permeabilization involved in viral entry into host cell

Term ID
GO:0075502
Synonyms
  • viral entry into host cell via caveolae-mediated endocytosis followed by endosome membrane
  • viral entry into host cell via clathrin-mediated endocytosis followed by endosome membrane permeabilization
Definition
Induction of endosome membrane permeabilization triggered by an interaction between the host membrane and a membrane-penetration protein associated with the capsid. Occurs after internalization of the virus through the endosomal pathway, and results in delivery of the virus contents into the host cell cytoplasm.
