Parvoviruses cause disruption of the NE for nuclear import. Electron micrographs of NE cross-sections from Xenopus oocytes mock-injected (A) or injected with the parvovirus MVM (B–E). Arrowheads point to NPCs. Brackets indicate breaks in the NE caused by MVM, which are often found close to NPCs (indicated by ). Virions are found close to the breaks (B, indicated by ∗∗), associated with the outer nuclear membrane (D, arrows), and in the perinuclear space (C, arrows). Small vesicles are found close to the breaks (E, arrow). Scale bars, 100 nm; n, nucleus; c, cytoplasm. Reproduced with permission from Cohen and Pante (2005).
