Alphachrysovirus

Alphachrysovirus is a genus of viruses. It is one of two genera in the family Chrysoviridae.[1] They are in Baltimore Group III (double-stranded RNA viruses) and infect fungi, in particular Penicillium. Their name is derived from the Greek word chrysos which means yellow-green. There are currently 17 species in this genus including the type species Penicillium chrysogenum virus.[2][3]

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. Genomes are linear and segmented, around 12.5kbp in length. The genome codes for 4 proteins. The genome has three double stranded RNA segments. All have extended highly conserved terminal sequences at both ends.[2][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.[2][3]

gollark: Well, then how will you ship "PotatOS Light"?
gollark: If you change it it would just autoupdate anyway.
gollark: Well, .registry uses potatOS's binary serialization format (not CBOR, it's weird and proprietary for historical reasons) and potatoBIOS is compressed.
gollark: The UUID does basically nothing except... confuse logs slightly?
gollark: Oh, that's irrelevant to security.
