Rubivirus (taxid:11040)

VIRION

image

Enveloped, spherical, 70-80nm in diameter. The capsid is not icosahedric and bound to the membrane . Envelope glycoproteins are assembled in helical organization .

GENOME

image

Monopartite, linear, ssRNA(+) genome of 9.7 kb. The genome is capped and polyadenylated.

GENE EXPRESSION

The virion RNA is infectious and serves as both genome and viral messenger RNA. The whole genome is translated in a non-structural polyprotein which is processed by host and viral proteases. Structural polyprotein is expressed through a subgenomic mRNA.

ENZYMES

REPLICATION

CYTOPLASMIC

  1. Attachement of the viral E glycoprotein to host receptors mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis of virus into the host cell.
  2. Fusion of virus membrane with host endosomal membrane. RNA genome is released into the cytoplasm.
  3. The positive-sense genomic ssRNA is translated into a polyprotein, which is cleaved into non-structural proteins necessary for RNA synthesis (replication and transcription).
  4. Replication takes place in cytoplasmic viral factories at the surface of endosomes. A dsRNA genome is synthesized from the genomic ssRNA(+).
  5. The dsRNA genome is transcribed/replicated thereby providing viral mRNAs/new ssRNA(+) genomes.
  6. Expression of the subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) gives rise to the structural proteins.
  7. Capsid assembly occurs at the Golgi membrane.
  8. The capsid is envelopped by budding at Golgi membrane where the virion exits the cell.

Host-virus interaction

Host gene expression shutoff by virus

Rubella virus capsid protein (Rubivirus) seems to mediate host translation shutoff by inhibiting host poly(A)-binding protein. .
