Thogotovirus (taxid:35323)

Thogotovirus is a genus of ssRNA- viruses in the Orthomyxoviridae family that infect mammals and are transmitted by Ticks (arbovirus). In humans, these viruses can cause fevers and encephalitis.

VIRION

image

Enveloped, spherical. The virions are 80-120 nm in diameter

GENOME

image

segmented ssRNA(-) linear genome, encapsidated by nucleoprotein (NP) Contains 6 to 7 segments coding for 7 to 9 proteins. Segments size range from 0.9 to 2.3 kb. Genome total size is about 10 Kb

GENE EXPRESSION

Viral RNA polymerase (PB1, PB2 and PA) transcribes one mRNA from each genome segment. Transcription is primed by cap snatching. mRNA are polyadenylated by the viral polymerase stuttering on a poly U track. Segment 6 mRNA can be alternatively spliced, giving rise to mRNA coding for M1 proteins.

ENZYMES

REPLICATION

NUCLEUS

  1. Virus attaches to sialic acid receptor though GP protein and is endocytosed by clathrins in the host cell.
  2. endosome acidification induces fusion of virus membrane with the vesicle membrane; encapsidated RNA segments migrate to the nucleus.
  3. Transcription of genomic segments by the viral polymerase produces mRNAs that are capped and polyadenylated by the viral polymerase.
  4. Replication of genomic segments.
  5. High level of M1 protein induces genomes segments export from nucleus by NEP protein.
  6. Virus assembly and budding occurs at the plasma membrane.
