Alphachrysovirus is a genus of double-stranded RNA viruses. It is one of two genera in the family Chrysoviridae . [2] They infect fungi, in particular Penicillium . Their name is derived from the Greek word chrysos which means yellow-green. There are 20 species in this genus. [1] [3] [4]

Structure

Viruses in the genus Alphachrysovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=1, T=2 symmetry. The diameter is around 35–40 nm. [1] [3]

Genome

Genome organization of Penicillium chrysogenum virus (PcV)

Genomes are linear double-stranded RNA which is around 12.5 kbp in length. The genome codes for four proteins. The genome has three double stranded RNA segments. All have extended highly conserved terminal sequences at both ends. [1] [3]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by cell to cell movement. Fungi serve as the natural host. [1] [3]

<i>Partitiviridae</i> Family of viruses

Partitiviridae is a family of double-stranded RNA viruses. Plants, fungi, and protozoa serve as natural hosts. It has been suggested that they can also infect bacteria. The name comes from the Latin partitius, which means divided, and refers to the segmented genome of partitiviruses. There are five genera and 60 species in the family, 15 of which are unassigned to a genus.
