Viruses are small obligate intracellular parasites, which by definition contain either a RNA or DNA genome surrounded by a protective, virus-coded protein coat. Viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements, most probably of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host.
Group VI: viruses possess single-stranded RNA viruses that replicate through a DNA intermediate. The retroviruses are included in this group, of which HIV is a member. Group VII: viruses possess double-stranded DNA genomes and replicate using reverse transcriptase.
22 cze 2020 · Organizational chart of the eight viral families with DNA genomes. The chart groups virus families using the strandedness of the viral genome, the structure of the capsid, and the presence or absence of an envelope.
The review intends to present and recapitulate the current knowledge on the roles and importance of regulatory RNAs, such as microRNAs and small interfering RNAs, RNA binding proteins and enzymes processing RNAs or activated by RNAs, in cells infected by RNA viruses. The review focuses on how non-coding RNAs are involved in RNA virus ...
Only the virus families are listed; subfamilies are described in the chapter on the specific virus. Figures 31–1 and 31–2 show a classification outline for DNA viruses and RNA viruses, respectively, based on the type of genome, the nature of the nucleocapsid, and whether an envelope is present.
31 sie 2023 · To replicate the viral genome, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzymes copy both the (+) RNA and (-) RNA strands of the genome producing a dsRNA genomes. To produce viral mRNA molecules, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzymes copy the (-) RNA strand into (+) viral mRNA.
DNA viruses cause human diseases, such as chickenpox, hepatitis B, and some venereal diseases, like herpes and genital warts. RNA viruses contain only RNA as their genetic material. To replicate their genomes in the host cell, the RNA viruses encode enzymes that can replicate RNA into DNA, which cannot be done by the host cell.
