clathrin-dependent endocytosis of virus by host cell

Term ID
GO:0075512
Synonyms
  • clathrin-mediated endocytosis of virus by host cell
  • viral entry into host cell via clathrin-mediated endocytosis
  • viral entry into host cell via clathrin-mediated endocytosis followed by endosome lysis
  • viral penetration via clathrin-mediated endocytosis
Definition
Any clathrin-mediated endocytosis that is involved in the uptake of a virus into a host cell. Begins by invagination of a specific region of the host cell plasma membrane around the bound virus to form a clathrin-coated pit, which then pinches off to form a clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle containing the virus.
