Virus family Virus Name Viral factorsa Cellular proteinsb Effects on the host and/or the virus References
Flaviviridae DENV Capsid [41], [42]
WNV Capsid (123 aa) HDM2, DDX56, Jab1 DDX56 important for virus infectivity
HDM2 localized in the nucleolus and induction of p53-dpt apoptosis
Jab1 protects cells against the capsid cytoxic effects
[43], [44], [60], [61]
JEV Capsid B23 B23 important for virus replication [45], [130]
Kunjin virus Capsid [46]
HCV Core, NS5B? Nucleolin, B23, PKR Upregulation of B23 synthesis via reduction of YY1 repressive activity on B23 promoter

Coronaviridae SARS-CoV 3b, Nucleocapsid B23 Inhibition of B23 phosphorylation [31], [32], [39], [40], [132]
Avian IBV Nucleocapsid Nucleolin, p53 Alteration of fibrillarin localization
p53 delocalized in the perinuclear region
Inhibition of cell growth
[47], [48], [133], [134]
Arteriviridae PPRSV Nucleocapsid Fibrillarin, HIC Mutation of N prevents its nucleolar localization reduces viral replication in vitro, delays viremia and increases NAb titers in vivo. [17], [49], [51], [52], [135]
Togaviridae SFV nsP2, capsid Mutation of nsP2 prevents its nuclear localization and reduces viral spread and neurovirulence in vivo [34], [35], [57], [73], [74], [75], [76], [136]
GETV M1 P21waf S-phase arrest and apoptosis in glioma cells [72]
a

Viral proteins shown to localize in the nucleolus.

b

Nucleolar proteins interacting with viral factor or cellular, non nucleolar proteins shown to be translocated into the nucleolus by the virus or the viral proteins.
