After binding to cell-surface receptors, poliovirus (160S) undergoes conformational changes of the capsid to the 135S form. The 135S particles are then internalized by an actin- and tyrosine kinase-dependent, but clathrin- and caveolin-independent, mechanism. The release of the viral genome takes place only after internalization from an endocytotic compartment localized within 100-200 nm of the plasma membrane. On release of the RNA genome, the empty capsid (80S) is transported away along microtubules. (Source: Brandenburg B, Lee LY, Lakadamyali M, Rust MJ, Zhuang X, Hogle JM.
