To do this amazing genetic i<strong>nversion process,<\/strong> retroviruses&nbsp; use their own <strong>reverse transcriptase<\/strong> <strong>enzyme<\/strong> to produce a DNA copy of their own <strong>RNA genome<\/strong> . This new retroviral DNA- called a <strong>provirus<\/strong>&#8211;&nbsp; is then incorporated into the host cell DNA genome with an <strong>integrate enzyme<\/strong>. The host cell then treats the viral DNA as part&nbsp; of its own genome ! -first <strong>transcribing<\/strong> it into RNA and then&nbsp;<strong> translating <\/strong>the viral genes along with the cells own genes-to a peptide: following&nbsp; the Francis Crick model which every student learned in their high school biology class.:namely:<strong> DNA-to RNA-to one peptide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Epidemiologists should<strong> be <\/strong>reminding the public that&nbsp; before a RNA virus can do this conversion it must&nbsp; <strong>first gain entrance into the human cell<\/strong> <strong>cytoplasm-<\/strong> with&nbsp; the target host cell being theT4 thymus (helper ) cell. A similar process of integration occurs in bacteria except that here the -provirus&nbsp; is called a bacteriophage.<strong>Look up: Wikipedia- retroviruses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Molecular&nbsp; biologists quickly realized that retroviruses could be useful tools in <strong>adding new genes to the human DNA genome <\/strong>althoughthey do run the risk of potentially creating new retrovirus pathogens.&nbsp; Dr. Leonard Horowitz In his textbook <strong>Emerging Viruses&nbsp; AIDS &amp; Ebola.
