Table of Contents

Classification

This is a description of an invertebrate virus at the species level.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.105.0.01.001. Virus accession number: 10501001. Obsolete virus code: 00.000.2.00.019.
NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 12742.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

The taxon has the accepted ICTV name.

ICTV approved acronym: IFV. Virus is the type of the genus 00.105.0.01. Iflavirus; not assigned to a family.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry. The isometric capsid has a diameter of 27 nm.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of linear positive-sense, single-stranded RNA. The genome is infectious. The complete genome is 9650 nucleotides long. Sequence can be accessed from GenBank. The RNA is fully sequenced, complete sequence is 9650 nucleotides long and encodes one polyprotein. Sequence has the accession number [AB000906]. The 5'-end of the negative-sense strand has a covalently attached terminal protein; 5'-end of the genome has a genome-linked protein (VPg). The 3'-terminus has a poly (A) tract.

Reference to nucleotide sequence in PubMed: reference(s). GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

Proteins have been characterized and functions are assigned to them. Particles are made up of 2 proteins (poly-).

The viral genome encodes structural proteins, or non-structural proteins. Virions consist of 3-4 structural proteins and may contain addtionally 4th smaller capsid proteins.

Structural Proteins: Capsid protein CP1. Capsid protein has a molecular mass of 345798 Da and has the accession number [O70710]. It is the coat protein with 33 copies per virion. Capsid protein CP2 has a molecular mass of 31000 Da and CP3 of 12000 Da.

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. The description has been generated automatically from DELTA files.
