Abstract
Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized and therefore possess mechanisms to transport molecules between the different organelles. Viruses take advantage of cellular transcription and translation machinery for their multiplication. Consequently, they utilize cellular routes for transporting their proteins and genome into the correct compartments.
