Orterviralesis an order that contains all accepted species of single-strandedRNAviruses that replicate through aDNAintermediate (Group VI) and all accepted species of double-stranded DNA viruses (exceptHepadnaviridae) that replicate through an RNA intermediate (Group VII). [1][2]The name is derived from the reverse ofretro.[3]

Families

All reverse-transcribing viruses possess significant similarities to each other. Theirreverse transcriptaseproteins share a common origin. Moreover, belpaoviruses, metaviruses, pseudoviruses, and retroviruses have other features in common. Theirpolymeraseproteins are similar in structure and includeaspartic protease(retroviral aspartyl protease) and anintegrasebelonging to the DDE recombinase superfamily (seeRecombination-activating gene [structure]). They also share similarcapsidand nucleocapsid proteins/domains.[4]Caulimoviruses also share some features with belpaoviruses, metaviruses, pseudoviruses, and retroviruses such as a homologousaspartate protease.On the other hand,Hepadnaviridaefamily is part of a sister order ofOrterviralescalledBlubervirales.[1]
