16. Baltimore classification Flashcards
What does Baltimore classification describe
Viral replication strategies
How many classes are there
7
What happens to ssRNA+/mRNA
It synthesizes viral proteins which are then used for genome replication
what enzymes are required for genome replication
RNA pol
DNA dip
DNA pol
RNA dip
In 1. and 2.=>DNA pol and dip
In 3. 4. 5.=> RNA pol and dip
In 6.7.=> RNA pol DNA dip; RNA pol RNA dip
What are enzymes for the genesis of ssRNA+
FOR ALL: RNA pol DNA dip
What are differences in transcription of replicative class 1
dsDNA viruses(Class I)= we have nuclear and cytoplasmic replication
Nuclear replication- viruses use cellular RNA polymerase. Transcription is regulated by cellular and viral TFs, occurring from both strands. Examples: papillomaviridae( cervical cancer) and adenoviridae(colds)
Cytoplasmic replication- viruses encode their own RNA polymerase . Ex: poxviridae(smallpox)
What are differences in replication of replicative class 1
We have it for complex and simple viruses
Complex viruses- virial genome replication is mediated by viral DNA-dependent DNA polymerases
They encode proteins for the metabolism of nucleic acids.
Ex:Herpesvidirdae, poxviridae, adenoviridae
Simple viruses
-Viral genome replication is mediated by cellular DNA-dependent DNA polymerases
Ex: poliomaviridae
papillomaviridae
What is poxviridae
Largest family of viruses affecting human. Ex: smallpox virus(eradicated)=> lethal disease in 30-50% of cases
What is the ‘‘formula’’ for the first replicating class
dsDNA->mRNA
What are characteristics of replicative class 2
ssDNA DNA viruses- they synthesize mRNA thanks to the cellular biosynthetic apparatus.
What happens before synthesis of mRNA in replicative class 2
ssDNA genomes must be completed to dsDNA in order to be transcribed. The virus replicates its genome in the cell nucleus only during S phase of the cell cycle
Who replicates viral genome in replicative class 2
cellular DNA polymerase
What is the ‘‘formula’’ for replicative class 2
ssDNA–>dsDNA–>mRNA
What is an example of replicative class 2
Parvoviridae. Parvovirus B19 causes minor disease that decreases red blood cell production. It’s small group of viruses whose DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of actively replicating cells
What are general features of RNA viruses
-replication and transcription are similar processes
-must encode for RNA-dependent RNA-polymerases
-provided or synthesized quickly
-they work fast
-must provide enzymes for mRNA processing
-pass through a dsRNA intermediate
What are characteristics of replicative class 3
dsRNA viruses- they have segmented genome (10-12 segments). These viruses replicate in the cytoplasm with an ssRNA intermediate
What is replication mediated by in replicative class 3
Virus-encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is also essential for genome expression and its encorporated into the infectious virus
What’s the formula for replicative class 3
dsRNA–>ssRNA(+)(mRNA)–> gene expression/genome replication(ssRNA-)
What are some examples of viruses from replicative class 3
Reoviridae: double icosahedral capsid that can be external and internal. It belongs to rotaviruses that have gastrointestinal forms
What are characteristics of replicative class 4
ssRNA(+) viruses- these genomes are said ‘‘infectious’’ as they can be immediately translated by the cellular ribosomes
While genomic RNA encodes early regulatory/replicative proteins, late proteins are encoded generated shorter/subgenomic transcriptssubsequently expressed(separation early and late)
What happens in some cases of replicative class 4
Genome consisting of an ssRNA(+) is translated into a polyprotein (no early or late stages)
Where does replicative class 4 replicates
In intracellular membrane(viral replication factories) rearrangements with the involvement of a viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase
