The Marburg virus replication cycle. The Marburg virus life cycle begins with virion attachment to specific cell-surface receptors, followed by fusion of the virion envelope with cellular membranes and the concomitant release of the virus nucleocapsid into the cytosol. [citation needed]

Apr 1, 2020 · Replication cycle. Studying the replication cycle of the Marburg virus is done stepwise, where versions of the virus that lack certain elements to stop them from becoming dangerous are used.

Jul 24, 2024 · The Marburg virus initiates its replication cycle by first attaching to the surface of a susceptible host cell. This attachment is mediated by the viral glycoproteins, which interact with specific cellular receptors.

During the last 6 years, much research has focused on a more detailed understanding of the different steps of the marburgvirus replication cycle as well as virus–host interactions using crystal structure, biochemistry, and bioinformatics approaches.

Reverse genetics systems established for MARV have been used to study various aspects of the viral replication cycle, analyze host responses, image viral infection, and screen for antivirals.

The viral life cycle requires nucleocapsids to bud from the host cell membrane to form the infectious particle. Using cryoEM, the authors found that the host cell's filopdia, membrane extensions from which the virus buds, could contain more than one nucleocapsid.

Replication Process. Understanding the replication process of the Marburg virus sheds light on its proliferation. After entering a host cell, the virus releases its RNA genome into the cytoplasm, beginning a complex interaction with host cell proteins.

Oct 1, 2012 · Surrogate systems mimicking specific steps in the MARV replication cycle include MARV GP-pseudotyped retroviruses or recombinant vesiculoviruses expressing GP to study entry, VLPs to study budding, and minigenome systems to study replication and transcription.

Dec 14, 2024 · Replication: 1) The virus enters host cells via macro-pinocytosis (cell engulfs extracellular fluid and particles); 2) viral RNA is transcribed and replicated in the cytoplasm; 3) new virus particles assembled and bud from the host cell membrane, which provides the …

Jun 1, 1992 · The genome of Marburg virus (MBG), a filovirus, is 19.1 kb in length and thus the largest one found with negative-strand RNA viruses. The gene order — 3' untranslated region-NP-VP35-VP40-GP-VP30-VP24-L-5' untranslated region-resembles that of other non-segmented negative-strand (NNS) RNA viruses.
