Aura alphavirus subgenomic RNA is packaged into virions of two sizes
1 Mar 1995
Abstract excerpt
The alphavirus genome is 11.8 kb in size. During infection, a 4.2-kb subgenomic RNA is also produced. Most alphaviruses package only the genomic RNA into virions, which are enveloped particles with icosahedral symmetry, having a triangulation number (T) = 4. Aura virus, however, packages both the genomic RNA and the subgenomic RNA into virions. The genomic RNA is primarily packaged into a virion that has a...
