Viral Replication Cycle
Both the (+) and the (–) strands of L-A are synthesized within viral particles. Mature particles containing L-A dsRNA synthesize (+) strands (transcription) by a conservative mechanism, and extrude the new strand from the particles. These (+) strands serve as mRNA, to make coat proteins, and as the species encapsidated by those proteins to make new nucleoprotein particles. Encapsidated (+) strands are converted to dsRNA form (replication). The absence of both 5′ cap and 3′ poly(A) on the viral mRNA is the basis of complex interactions of virus and host in translation.

Famous quotes containing the word cycle:
“The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
