A provirus is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell.In the case of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages), proviruses are often referred to as prophages.his can result in the destruction of its host cell because the cell's protein synthesis machinery is hijacked to produce more viruses. Proviruses may account for approximately 8% of the human genome in the form of inherited endogenous retroviruses.
Retroviruses use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to make DNA copies of their RNA, which is then incorporated into the DNA of the host cell. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the body's immune system, multiplying and spreading from cell to cell at incredible speed, damaging and destroying cells. At first, the immune system fights back by producing new cells, but eventually, HIV causes so much damage that the immune system can no longer keep up.
