Abstract
A variety of cellular reactions mediated by interactions among proteins and nucleic acids requires a series of proteins called molecular chaperones. The viral genome encodes relatively few kinds of viral proteins and, therefore, host-derived cellular factors are required for virus proliferation. Here we discuss those cellular proteins known as molecular chaperones, which are essential for the assembly of functional viral DNA/RNA replicons. The function of these molecular chaperones in the cellular context is also discussed.Keywords: Adenovirus; Chromatin; Influenza virus; Molecular chaperone; Ribonucleoprotein
