HCMV miRNA: A model representing the functional role of miRNAs produced by the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) during its active replication cycle. Cellular receptors allow the virus to enter the cell, and the capsid then translocates to the nucleus, where it releases its genome. The lytic phase of HCMV infection produces miRNAs targeting multiple proteins in order to deregulate cellular signaling, gene expression, apoptosis, and innate immune response.
