Function

MU1_REOVL Major outer capsid protein involved in host cell membrane penetration. In the endocytic compartment, outer-capsid protein sigma-3 is removed by cathepsin proteases, which exposes the viral membrane-penetration protein mu-1. Both myristoylated peptides mu-1N and phi are released during infectious subvirion particles (ISVP) formation in the endosome. They associate with host membranes and mu-1N induces permeabilization and delivery of transcriptionally active viral particles into the host cell cytoplasm. Seems to induce apoptosis in the host cell.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} The viral outer shell polypeptides, of which mu-1 is one, impose structural constraints that prevent elongation of nascent transcripts by the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase lambda-3.^{[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]}
