HIV Replication Cycle

Fusion of the HIV cell to the host cell surface. 
HIV RNA, reverse transcriptase, integrase, and other viral  proteins enter the host cell. 
Viral DNA is formed by reverse transcription. 
Viral DNA is transported across the nucleus and integrates into  the host DNA. 
New viral RNA is used as genomic RNA and to make viral proteins. 
New viral RNA and proteins move to cell surface and a new,  immature, HIV virus forms. 
The virus matures by protease releasing individual HIV proteins.

Part of the Sumedicina project, this is a visualization of a viral DNA sequence. It’s a fictional virus that happens to share its name with an isolate of the Taura syndrome virus, also called 2KMX. TSV has a single-stranded RNA genome, and infects a number of species including the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, which is actually a closet prawn.
