Apis mellifera Solinvivirus-1

Description and Significance

Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.

Genome Structure

AmSV1 contains a 10.6 kb positive-strand genomic RNA with a single ORF coding for a polyprotein. This genome is classified to be linear and icosahedral as 180 copies of the jelly-roll structural viral protein subunits form this shell of the particle. This is a virus, so there are no chromosomes present and instead have genome segments.

Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.

Ecology and Pathogenesis

Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.

If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
