: Finally, a protease enzyme cleaves the viral proteins into their functional forms, maturing the virus so it can infect new cells. Human Health and Diseases
: The host cell's machinery mistakenly treats the provirus as one of its own genes, producing viral mRNA and proteins. These components assemble into new, immature viral particles that bud off from the cell. Retrovirus
: Linked to adult T-cell leukemia and certain neurological conditions. HTLV-2 : Associated with milder neurological disorders. : Finally, a protease enzyme cleaves the viral
