CAS4 like Major Coat Protein Viruses

Adnaviria -Linear A form DNA

Ampullaviridae -ABV

7-sliding segment viruses

Bicaudaviridae

alpha – ATV

beta – STSV1, STSV2

Guttaviridae

CAS4 and PolA containing viruses in hyperthermophiles

SpiraVirus -ss circular DNA virus -ACV

deltaviruses –circular ssDNA viruses dependent on Hepatitis B in humans but not in other animals. contain a rna endonculease ribozyme and code the the delta antigen that forms helical rod shaped structures with ds RNA. Structure of delta antigen capsid has a core with 4 helical loops… similar to the cas4 family. May have evolved from viroids.
