CONT

Les gènes transformants codés par ces virus jouent avant tout un rôle essentiel dans la réplication et la multiplication virale. Ce sont de véritables gènes viraux qui n'ont pas d'homologues cellulaires, par opposition à ce que l'on rencontre chez certains oncorétrovirus d'animaux. Les mécanismes mis en jeu dans la transformation ne sont donc que le prolongement de différentes fonctions nécessaires au cycle de multiplication virale.
