- However, in another host, multiplication of the virus can be =

A
  • asymptomatic.

27
Q

  • virus mRNAs are transported…
  • Virus proteins may be transported…
A

…particular sites.

  • …from nucleus to cytoplasm
  • …to various locations, including the nucleus

  • dsRNA
  • (+) RNA
  • (-) RNA (non-segmented genomes)
  • retroviruses & pararetroviruses (ssRNA –> dsDNA)

Nucleus:

  • ssDNA
  • (-) RNA (segmented genomes)
  • retroviruses & pararetroviruses (dsDNA –> ssRNA)
33
Q

(Initiation of Genome replication)

Nucleic acid replication requires…

A

…priming = first reaction of a nucleotide with an –OH group on a molecule at the initiation site

34
Q

(Initiation of Genome replication)

Some ssDNA viruses, such as parvoviruses, use…

A

…self-priming. At the 3 end of the DNA there are regions with complementary sequences that can base pair.

35
Q

Synthesis of DNA needs RNA as a primer?

A
  • Okazaki fragments  primer = short mRNA fragments

- Viruses can also use  protein as a primer

36
Q

For some viruses the primer for initiation of nucleic acid replication is

A

the –OH group on a serine or tyrosine residue in a protein.

37
Q

Protein primers are not…

A

…removed once their role is performed and they are found linked to the 5’ ends of the genomes in virions.

synthesis of complementary strands of RNA that are then used as templates for synthesis of new copies of the genome
- …both (+) and (−) strands of RNA accumulate in the infected cell not in equal amounts

42
Q

(+) RNA viruses accumulate…

A

an excess of (+) RNA over (−) RNA, and for minus strand RNA viruses the reverse is true.

  • Some DNA viruses replicate their genomes…
  • Both modes of genome replication involve…
A
  • …via a DNA intermediate.
