16
Q

herpesviruses

A

large dsDNA (130-220 kb)
enveloped
virions have tegument
replicate in the nucleus

17
Q

tegument

A

in herpesvirus virions
loosely associated virion proteins that enter cells during infection

18
Q

8 human herpesviruses (HHV)

A

alpha - herpes simplex virus 1/2, varicella zoster virus
beta - cytomegalovirus, HHV-6A/B, HHV-7
gamma - Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Kaposi Sarcome-associated Herpesvirus (KSHV)
EBV - mononucleosis, Burkett’s lymphoma
VZV - chicken pox and Shingles
HSV1/2 - cold sores and genital herpes

19
Q

herpesviruses replication

A

virions fuse at plasma membrane
capsid travels by microtubule to nucleus
viral mRNA transcribed by Pol II
Immediate early gene Tc/TL: degrades host mRNA, expression of viral Tc factors
Early gene Tc/TL: evasion of host immune response, express viral polymerases to replicate genome
Genome replicates: as a long concatemer by rolling circle replicated
Late gene Tc/TL: capsid proteins to package genome, glycoproteins for envelope
Egress by secretory pathway

20
Q

why is herpes forever

A

because it can establish latent infections

21
Q

how does herpesviruses establish latent infections

A

alpha herpesviruses infect sensory neurons after lytic replication in epithelial cells
virions travel up axon to soma
viral genome circularizes and is condensed with histones
minimal viral gene expression
stress can stimulate spontaneous expression of IE genes
lytic replication proceeds with virions budding from the axon
virion production is amplified in epithelial cells

22
Q

papilloma viruses

A

small dsDNA, non-enveloped
~150 human strains, most low risk
cause genital warts
cause cancer
infection is stealthy
can establish a persistent infection
nine strains of HPV

23
Q

papillomavirus replication

A

must infect basal cells near the basement membrane (actively replicating)
replication cycles mirrors stratifying and differentiating epithelium

24
Q

what can lead to tumourigenesis

A

persistent E6 and E7 expression due to genomic integration

25
Q

early proteins E6 and E7 are essential to drive _______, also are _______

A

S-phase
oncogenes

26
Q

HIV

A

Human Immunodeficiency virus
retrovirus… transcribes DNA from an RNA template

27
Q

how do retroviruses work

A

each virion has two genome copies
reverse transcriptase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and is packaged in the virion
infects CD4+ cells (T cells and monocytes)
