A provirus is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell. In the case of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages), proviruses are often referred to as prophages. This state can be a stage of virus replication, or a state that persists over longer periods of time as either inactive viral infections or an endogenous retrovirus. In inact...

<virology> The genome of a virus when it is integrated into the host cell DNA. In the case of the retroviruses, their RNA genome has first to be transcribed to DNA by reverse transcriptase. The genes of the provirus may be transcribed and expressed or the provirus may be maintained in a latent condition. The integration of the oncogenic virus...

(pro-vi´rәs) a DNA transcript of an RNA virus that migrates from the cytoplasm into the nucleus and integrates into the host genome by crossing over so that it will be thus replicated in the daughter cells.

A non-infectious intra-cellular form of a virus; the genome of a virus - essentially a nucleic acid; it is perpetuated in stable association with the internal structure of the host cell.

The genome of a virus when it is integrated into the host cell DNA. In the case of the retroviruses, their RNA genome has first to be transcribed to DNA by reverse transcriptase. The genes of the provirus may be transcribed and expressed, or the provirus may be maintained in a latent condition. The integration of the oncogenic viruses, such as Papovaviridae and retroviruses can lead to cell transformation.

Type: Term Pronunciation: prō-vī′rŭs Definitions: 1. The precursor of an animal virus, usually a retrovirus; theoretically analogous to the prophage in bacteria, the provirus is integrated in the nucleus of infected cells and can be activated in response to certain stimuli.
