Dinodnavirus (taxid:1232647)

VIRION

Capsid is about 180-210 nm in diameter and exhibits icosahedral symmetry.

GENOME

Monopartite, linear dsDNA genome of about 356 kb.

GENE EXPRESSION

ENZYMES

• DNA-directed DNA polymerase B [POL]

REPLICATION

CYTOPLASMIC?

1. Attachment of the viral proteins to host receptors.
2. Virus enters into the host cell.
3. Transcription of viral genes; replication of the DNA genome possibly in the cytoplasm.
4. Assembly of new virions occurs in cytoplasmic viral factories.
5. Cell lysis and virus release.
