Genes, Structural, Viral
Medical Definition: | DNA or RNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of viral cells. |
Guide Notes: | coord IM with specific virus /genet (IM) |
Previously Indexed: | Genes (1966-1967),Genes, Structural (1968-1989),specific virus (1966-1989) |
Genes, env - DNA sequences that form the coding region for the viral envelope (env) proteins in retroviruses. The env genes contain a cis-acting RNA target sequence for the rev protein (= GENE PRODUCTS, REV), termed the rev-responsive element (RRE). | |
Genes, gag - DNA sequences that form the coding region for proteins associated with the viral core in retroviruses. gag is short for group-specific antigen. | |
Genes, pol - DNA sequences that form the coding region for retroviral enzymes including reverse transcriptase, protease, and endonuclease/integrase. "pol" is short for polymerase, the enzyme class of reverse transcriptase. |
