  2. Double-stranded RNA viruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-stranded_RNA_viruses

    Double-stranded RNA viruses (dsRNA viruses) are a polyphyletic group of viruses that have double-stranded genomes made of ribonucleic acid.The double-stranded genome is used as a template by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to transcribe a positive-strand RNA functioning as messenger RNA (mRNA) for the host cell's ribosomes, which translate it into viral proteins.

  3. Orthornavirae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthornavirae

    Genome type and replication cycle of different RNA viruses. RNA viruses in Orthornavirae typically do not encode many proteins, but most positive-sense, single-stranded (+ssRNA) viruses and some double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses encode a major capsid protein that has a single jelly roll fold, so named because the folded structure of the protein contains a structure that resembles a jelly ...

  4. Jelly roll fold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_roll_fold

    Double jelly roll capsid proteins consist of two single jelly roll folds connected by a short linker region. They are found in both double-stranded DNA viruses and single-stranded DNA viruses of at least ten different viral families, including viruses that infect all domains of life, and spanning a large capsid size range.

  5. Double-stranded RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-stranded_RNA

    Double-stranded RNA structure. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is RNA with two complementary strands found in cells. It is similar to DNA but with the replacement of thymine by uracil and the adding of one oxygen atom. [1] Despite the structural similarities, much less is known about dsRNA. [2]

  6. RNA virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_virus

    Structure of the reovirus virion. The double-stranded (ds)RNA viruses represent a diverse group of viruses that vary widely in host range (humans, animals, plants, fungi, [b] and bacteria), genome segment number (one to twelve), and virion organization (Triangulation number, capsid layers, spikes, turrets, etc.).

  7. Escherichia virus T4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_virus_T4

    It is a double-stranded DNA virus in the subfamily Tevenvirinae of the family Straboviridae. T4 is capable of undergoing only a lytic life cycle and not the lysogenic life cycle . The species was formerly named T-even bacteriophage , a name which also encompasses, among other strains (or isolates), Enterobacteria phage T2 , Enterobacteria phage ...

  8. Orbivirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbivirus

    Orbivirus is a genus of double-stranded RNA viruses in the family Reoviridae and subfamily Sedoreovirinae. Unlike other reoviruses, orbiviruses are arboviruses. They can infect and replicate within a wide range of arthropod and vertebrate hosts. Orbiviruses are named after their characteristic doughnut-shaped capsomers (orbis in Latin means ring).

  9. Birnaviridae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birnaviridae

    Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription in cytoplasm. The virus is released by budding. Salmonid fish ( Aquabirnavirus ), young sexually immature chickens ( Avibirnavirus ), insects ( Entomobirnavirus ), and blotched snakehead fish ( Blosnavirus ) are the natural hosts.
