Virus Accession number 64000000. Satellite nucleic acids have substantially distinct nucleotide sequences from those of the genomes of either their helper virus or host. When a satellite encodes the coat protein in which its nucleic acid is encapsidated it is referred to as a satellite virus. Virus infects bacteria, fungi, invertebrates, plants, and vertebrates.
Description is on taxonomic level of subviral agents family.
Properties of Virion Morphology Virions not enveloped. Function of Helper and Satellite Viruses. Virions associated with helper virus, but independent from its functions during replication, or associated with helper virus and dependent on its functions during replication, or may provide helper functions during replication to dependent virus. Taxonomic Structure Taxonomic structure of the category equivalent to family.
