CRICKET PARALYSIS VIRUS (CRPV)
Overview
Numerous small, RNA-containing insect viruses are currently classified as, picornaviruses, or as 'picorna-like', since they superficially resemble, the true picornaviruses. Considerable evidence now suggests that several, of these viruses are members of a distinct family. We have determined the, gene sequence of the capsid proteins and the 2.4 A resolution crystal, structure of the cricket paralysis virus. While the genome sequence, indicates that the insect picorna-like viruses represent a distinct, lineage compared to true picornaviruses, the capsid structure demonstrates, that the two groups are related. These viral genomes are, thus, best, viewed as composed of exchangeable modules that have recombined.
