The Pospiviroidae are a family of viroids, including the first viroid to be discovered, PSTVd. Their secondary structure is key to their biological activity. The classification of this family is based on differences in the conserved central region sequence. The genome consists (in this order) of an LH terminal domain, a pathogenic domain, conserved central domain, variable domain, and an RH terminal domain. "Pospiviroidae" replication occurs in an asymmetric fashion via host cell RNA polymerase, RNase, and RNA ligase.
