Penicillimonavirus (taxid:2842949)

VIRION

Unknown, discovered using viral metagenomics.

GENOME

image

Negative-stranded RNA linear genome, about 6.5 kb in size. Encodes for one protein.
CAUTION:All negative stranded RNA viruses encode a nucleoprotein that is missing from the current data. Either a segment is missing or there is a new kind of replication/transcription mechanism.

GENE EXPRESSION

Unknown.

ENZYMES

REPLICATION

Cytoplasmic

  1. Virus entry into host cell
  2. Sequential transcription.
  3. Replication presumably starts when enough nucleoprotein is present to encapsidate neo-synthetized antigenomes and genomes.
  4. Budding of virion or transmission through Fungal intercellular connetions
