Rabies virus is a bullet shaped, enveloped virus, carrying a negative sense RNA strand. It's genome has 5 proteins in the order of :
5' L -- G -- M -- P -- N 3'.
L codes for RNA polynepoly
G codes for glycoprotein.
M codes for matrix protein.
P codes for phosphoprotein.
N codes for nucleoprotein.
Infection starts with the fusion of virus envelope and the host cell membarane . The interaction happens between the G protein of rabies virus and specific host cell receptors. The virus particles are taken in via pinocytes and on being fused with endosomes membrane, the virus is released and uncoated, releasing only the core protein part in the cytoplasm.
Since it is a - sense RNA, + sense RNA needs to be made which acts as mRNA.so RNA deoendede RNA polymerase of the virus makes + strand from the - sense genome which acts as a mRNA and encodes the viral protein. The proteins then act together and again act to make and accumulated +sense RNA strand which has 2 functions : it either acts as mRNA and encodes protein or acts as a template to make - RNA strands for the progeny viruses.
On accumulation of - RNA genomes, the N, P, L protein codes the genome to make the ribunucleoprotein or RNP. Then it binds to the M protein to form a complex of RNP-M . Glycosylation of the complex happens via Golgi apparatus and this whole thing then buds off from the host Plasma membrane.

Rabies is a single-stranded RNA virus that is a negative sense virus. Draw how a 6-nucleotide sequence of its genome would look (random sequence with all nucleotides represented). Please have the appropriate number of strands, different types of bonds and different components to the nucleotide in the drawing
Which among A-D is false regarding most DNA virus infections and most non-retroviral RNA virus infections? A. Once inside the host cell, RNA virus replication usually (though not always) occurs completely in the cytoplasm. B. The genome of DNA viruses generally must enter the nucleus of the host cell they infect. C. A (+) sense RNA strand produced by an RNA virus could serve as an mRNA and be directly translated into protein. D. DNA viruses typically are assembled in...
1. Suppose that you isolated an enveloped icosahedral RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus is capable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocyte cell‑free translation systemor in any other such system. Further analysis indicates that this virus replication is not inhibited by actinomycin D, a strong inhibitor of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.Based on this information, discuss the mechanism by which this virus replicates its genome in infected susceptible, permissive cells. 2. Suppose that you isolated an enveloped helical RNA virus. Purified...

Suppose that you isolated an enveloped helical RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus is capable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free translation system or in any other such system. Further analysis indicates that this virus replication is inhibited if infected cells are incubated with protease inhibitor such as trypsin inhibitor. Based on this information, discuss the mechanism by which this virus replicates its genome in infected susceptible, permissive cells.
