Narnavirus is a genus of positive-strand RNA viruses in the family Narnaviridae. Fungi serve as natural hosts. There are two species in this genus.[1][2] Narnaviruses have been shown to be required for sexual reproduction of Rhizopus microsporus.[3]

Virology

Structure

Narnaviruses have no true virion. They do not have structural proteins or a capsid.[4]

Genome

Narnaviruses have nonsegmented, linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes. The genome has one open reading frame which encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). The genome is associated with the RdRp in the cytoplasm of the fungi host and forms a naked ribonucleoprotein complex.[2]

Replication cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Replication follows the positive-strand RNA virus replication model. Positive-strand RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by cell-to-cell movement. Fungi serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are parental and sexual.[2]

Taxonomy

The genus has the following two species:[1]

  • Saccharomyces 20S RNA narnavirus
  • Saccharomyces 23S RNA narnavirus
