Table of Contents

Classification

This is a description of a vertebrate virus at the genus level.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.052.0.02. Virus accession number: 052002GE. Obsolete virus code: 52.0.2.; superceded accession number: 52020000.
NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 12128.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Synonym(s): Common cold virus group. Virus is of the family 00.052. Picornaviridae.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry. The isometric capsid has a diameter of 30 nm. Capsids appear round. The capsid consists of 12 capsomers.
























3D image of virus reconstruction can be found at Virus World, Molecular Virology, Madison.

Capsid structures, detailed structural and computational analysis are found in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) using VIPERdB, the VIrus Particle ExploreR Human rhinovirus B, Human rhinovirus 3 Human rhinovirus B, Human rhinovirus 14.

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

Virions have a buoyant density in CsCl of 1.34 g cm-3.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of linear positive-sense, single-stranded RNA. The complete genome is 7200 nucleotides long. The 5'-end of the genome has a genome-linked protein (VPg). The 3'-terminus has a poly (A) tract.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins.

Lipids

Lipids are absent.

Genome Organization and Replication

By itself, genomic nucleic acid is infectious.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Virus infects during its life cycle a single type of vertebrate host.
Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Human rhinovirus, serotype 16, (black and white) complexed with 60 of its cellular receptors (orange). The cellular receptor for the major group of rhinoviruses is the Intercellular adhesion molecule-1. The molecule has five, soluble domains but only the two N-terminal domains are bound here http://bilbo.bio.purdue.edu/~baker/projects/picorna/rhino/rhino.html.

ICTVdB - The Universal Virus Database, developed for the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses by Dr Cornelia Büchen-Osmond is written in DELTA. The virus descriptions in ICTVdB are coded by, or using data from experts in the field of virology or members ICTV. The character list is the underlying code. All virus descriptions are based on the character list and natural language translations are automatically generated and formatted for display on the Web from the descriptions in DELTA-format.
