HIV HTLV Mechanism
Reverse Transcriptase RNA –> DNA
Integrase–> into host genome
Two genera of viruses that infect humans
Lentiviruses
Oncoviruses
What links to HTLV 1
T cell leukemia
HAM/TSP
What links to HTLV 2
Milder neurologic
Pulmonary disorders
HIV Structure
Membrane proteins gp 120 and gp 41 Helical Core matrix/ Proteins Enzymes; protease, integrase, transcriptase RNA diploid
HIV genomes
gag
pol
env
Gag of HIV codes for
capsid, core and matrix proteins
Pol of HIV codes for
Three viral enzymes
ENV of HIV codes for
Two envelope glycoproteins
Receptors used for entry in HIV
CD4
CXC R4
CCR5
Host Cells that HIV gain access
T Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Dendritic Cells
HIV binds what receptor in Dendritic?
DC SIGN– high affinity for ICAM-3
7 steps of HIV life cycle
- Fusion
- Nucleoscapsid
- RNA converted to DNA
- v dNA into nucleus
5 activation, transcription into genome - Assembly and budding new virion
- Maturation into infectious virion
