Satellite (biology)
Satellites are subviral particles made up of a nucleic acid molecule and some proteins. They can be viewed as dependent viruses that are unable to multiply in a host cell on their own. For their replication they also need one or even several helper viruses , with which the host cell must be infected at the same time ( co-infection ). The helper virus provides the functions required for the satellite to multiply. The host cell then mainly produces the satellite instead of the virus.
If the genome of the satellite codes for a nucleocapsid , it is called a satellite virus . As a rule, satellite viruses cannot replicate themselves. Virusoids, on the other hand, can replicate independently of the helper virus, but do not code for a capsid.
Diseases caused by satellites are known almost exclusively in plants (tobacco, tomatoes, cereals, gooseberries, etc.). Some have been found in fungi ( Ustilago maydis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) and protists ( Trichomonas vaginalis ). Chronic bee paralysis in bees is caused by satellites.
If the satellite interferes with or disturbs the replication of the helper virus ( ie if it parasitizes it), it is sometimes called a " virophage ".
Taxonomy
Satellites were taxonomically recorded with the ICTV update in November 2018 . In principle, the same scheme is used as for viruses, but with name endings that do not have “vir” but “satellite” as a component. In actual use at this stand, the following groups are:
- Family ( ... satellitidae )
- Subfamily ( ... satellitinae )
- Genus or genus ( ... satellite )
- Species or species ( ... satellite )
- Genus or genus ( ... satellite )
- Subfamily ( ... satellitinae )
- Family ( ... satellitidae )
Example of such a satellite taxonomy :
- Family: Alphasatellitidae
- Subfamily: Geminialphasatellitinae
In practice, however, many satellite viruses use the common virus naming convention, e.g. B. for the genus Mavirus or the species Mimivirus-dependent virus Sputnik (both confirmed by ICTV).
