Chapter 22 Flashcards
Papillomavirus
The basic structure of papillomavirus
non-enveloped icosahedral with T=7 capsid, circular ds-DNA in minichromosome (cellular histones)
the gene is replicated by
cDdDp
the gene is transcribed by
cDdRp
HPV type 1
soles of feet, deep plantar warts
HPV type 2, 4, 7
hands, common warts
HPV type 6, 11
condyloma
HPV type 16, 18, 31
genital tracts, cervical cancer
HPV binds to
Heparin and integrin
HPV infection at
non-differentiated basal stem cells of the epithelum
HPV virions are taken up by
endocytosis
viral DNA enters the nucleus, maintained as
a free, circular minichromosome
early genes are transcribed, permitting an initial replication phase that results in
50 to 100 copies of DNA per cell
genomes replicate on average about once per cell cycle as
the basal cells divide and the viral genomes are distributed equally among the daughter cells (plasmid replication)
when the basal cells become committed to the pathway toward terminally differentiated epithelial cells (keratinocytes),
there is a burst of viral DNA synthesis, known as vegetative replication
during the vegetative replication, late genes
L1 and L2 are expressed, producing the viral capsid proteins
progeny virus particles are assembled in
the nucleus, and are released upon cell death and shedding at the surface of lesions.
genome structures of what types are focused here?
type 16 and 31 that cause cervical cancer
virions are constructed from
72 capsomeres, each containing 5 molecules of the major capsid protein L1 as well as one molecule of the minor capsid protein L2
how many ORF expressed in the HPV lifecycle?
8 genes with 6 early replicate genes and 2 late structural capsid genes
all papillomavirus mRNAs are transcribed from
only one of the DNA strands
how many promoters are there in the HPV genome?
an early promoter located upstream of the E6 gene; a late promoter located upstream of the E1 upstream
in undifferentiated basal epithelial cells, the early promoters direct transcription of RNAs that code for
E6, 7, 1, 2, 5 then, the early primary transcript is polyadenylated AAUAAA at a site downstream of the E5 gene
E5, 6 and 7 are for
cell proliferation
E1 and 2 are for
plasmid replication (BEC) and vegetative replication (keratinocytes)
in keratinocytes, the late promoters direct transcription of RNAs that code for
E1 and 2 that polyadenylated early, L1 and 2 that polyadenlyated late
