Pseudoviridae is a family of viruses,[1] which includes three genera.[2]
Viruses of the family are actually
LTR retrotransposons of the Ty1-copia family. They replicate via structures called virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs are not infectious like normal virions, but they nevertheless make up an essential part of the pseudoviral lifecycle.[2]
Taxonomy
Pseudoviridae is unofficially classified under group VI
invertebrates
.
Pseudoviridae comprises highly divergent members and most Pseudoviridae encode Gag and Pol on a single open reading frame.
Pseudoviridae is included in the order Ortervirales along with families Retroviridae, and Caulimoviridae.[3]
The family includes the following genera:[2]
Further Pseudoviridae species not classified into a genus are:
- Penicillium camemberti virus - GP1[4]
- Phaseolus vulgaris Tpv2-6 virus

Replication
The genome integrates into the host genome and gets transcribed by host cell
eukaryotic nuclear RNA polymerase II. Genome replication takes place in the host cytoplasm, or the nucleus
and assembly can occur in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus.
