Q

replication cycle of rotorviruses

A
  1. taken up by endocytosis (capsid prots are processed either in the gut or in the lysosome)-forms infectious subviral particle
  2. core enzymes-begin synthesizing mRNAs-asymettric only 10-12 +strands
  3. capped + strands to “assortment complexes
  4. negative strands made
  5. dsRNA genome complete
  6. lysis and release
