Skunavirus (taxid:1623305)
VIRION
Non-enveloped, head-tail structure. The capsid is icosahedral, about 45 nm in diameter. The non-contractile tail is about 120 nm in length.
GENOME
Linear, dsDNA genome of about 28 kb, containing about 54-59 genes. The genome has cohesive ends (cos sites) .
GENE EXPRESSION
REPLICATION
CYTOPLASMIC
- Adsorption: The phage attaches to target cell adhesion receptors through its tail fibers.
- Ejection of the viral DNA into host cell cytoplasm by long flexible tail ejection system.
- Transcription and translation of early genes.
- Replication of genomic DNA.
- Transcription and translation of late genes
- Assembly of an empty procapsid and packaging of the genome.
- Viral tail fiber assembly and viral tail assembly.
- Mature virions are released from the cell by lysis.
