The birnaviridae are a family of viruses, including the following genera:

The birnaviridae are type-III viruses in the Baltimore classification, which means they have a double-stranded RNA genome. The other family of type-III viruses is the Reoviridae.

Birnaviridae proteins

The Birnaviridae genome encodes several proteins:

The Birnaviridae RNA-directed RNA polymerase (VP1), which lacks the highly conserved Gly-Asp-Asp (GDD) sequence, a component of the proposed catalytic site of this enzyme family that exists in the conserved motif VI of the palm domain of other RNA-directed RNA polymerases.[1]

The large RNA segment, segment A, of birnaviruses codes for a polyprotein (N-VP2-VP4-VP3-C) [2] that is processed into the major structural proteins of the virion: VP2, VP3 (a minor structural component of the virus), and into the putative protease VP4.[2] VP4 protein is involved in generating VP2 and VP3.[2] recombinant VP3 is more immunogenic than recombinant VP2.[3]

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), a birnavirus, is an important pathogen in fish farms. Analyses of viral proteins showed that VP2 is the major structural and immunogenic polypeptide of the virus.[4][5] All neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are specific to VP2 and bind to continuous or discontinuous epitopes. The variable domain of VP2 and the 20 adjacent amino acids of the conserved C-terminal are probably the most important in inducing an immune response for the protection of animals.[4]

Non structural protein VP5 is found in RNA segment A. The function of this small viral protein is unknown. It is believed to be involved in influencing apoptosis, but studies are not completely concurring. The protein can not be found in the virion.

Viruses

The genus includes a number of viruses:

Chicken proventricular necrosis virus
