Lecture 35. Virus Replication II Flashcards
What do many viruses go against ?
Central dogma
How large is varicella zoster virus ?
125kb - 70 proteins
Where does transcription and replication of the varicella zoster virus occur ?
The nucleus
What does transcription of varicella zoster virus require ?
Host RNA polymerase II
What does viral polymerase synthesis of varicella zoster virus do ?
Create new copies of DNA genome
What are the eight steps of varicella zoster virus replication cycle ?
- Attachment and entry
- Transport to nucleus
- Genome replication and transcription
- mRNA translation and protein synthesis
- Capsid formation and genome packaging
- Capsid buds through nuclear membrane
- Virion matures by budding through the trans golgi network
- Vesicle and plasma membrane fuse, releasing virion
What size is the poliovirus ?
8kb - 11 proteins
When is mRNA translated in poliovirus ?
Immediately after infectious
What part of poliovirus is infectious ?
The genome alone
What does mRNA and genome synthesis use for poliovirus genome replication ?
Viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase
Where does genome replication occur in poliovirus ?
Cytoplasm
What is the poliovirus replication cycle ?
- Attachment and entry
- Genome and mRNA translation
- Polyprotein processing
- Genome synthesis
- Assembly
- Egress upon cell lysis
What does the positive sense single stranded RNA genome look like in poliovirus replication ?

- Polyprotein
2. Host ribosomes
What does viral polymerase synthesis in poliovirus replication ?
New copies of RNA genome
What does the positive sense single stranded RNA act as in Covid ?
mRNA
What is subgenomic mRNA synthesised from in Covid ?
Replicated genome
