Q

How can topoisomerase work? 1) 2)

A

1) When a covalently-closed circular dsDNA genome is replicated, topoisomerase I or II cleaves one strand of DNA, to relax supercoils 2) When two daughter dsDNA are catenated, topoisomerase II cleaves two strands of DNA (uses ATP) and reseals them to separate the daughter strands.

Q

Hepatitis B genome replication 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)

A

1) Relaxed circle genome enters host cell nucleus
2) Genome is repaired into two continuous strands by host cell enzymes. This forms covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA)
3) Pre-genomic RNA is formed from cccDNA transcript.
4) Pre-genomic RNA enters cytoplasm. Self-annealing parts of RNA form loops that act as binding sites for viral RT polymerase.
5) When short DNA reaches 5’DR1, a template switch to the 3’ DR1 occurs.
6) (-) DNA elongation occurs. RNase H activity of viral polymerase cleaves RNA.
7) Remaining 15-18nt from before template switch forms an RNA primer for (+) DNA elongation. About 10% of the time the RNA primer stays in the same place, and linear dsDNA is formed that will become cccDNA
8) 90% of the time primer translocates, so that DR1 binds to DR2 (second template exchange). This (+) strand of DNA is extended.

Q

How does the structure of the hepatitis B genome reflect it’s genomic replication?

A

The section of ssDNA is from the second template exchange. where DS1 and DS2 bind. The section of RNA left on the 5’ end of (+) DNA is from reverse transcription, and acted as a primer for DNA elongation.

Frameshift readthrough of genome-length mRNA

33

34
Q

A

tRNA (acts as a primer for reverse transcription)

35
Q

A

From integrated dsDNA provirus in host cell genome, using host RNA polymerase II.

36
Q

Retroviral replication 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7)

A

1) Cell receptor bound, transmembrane protein drives viral fusion.
2) Reverse transcription occurs in the cytoplasm
3) (-)ssDNA becomes dsDNA, then is transported to the nucleus
4) Integrase enzyme catalyses integration of proviral DNA into genome of host
5) Unspliced mRNA transcripts from provirus can become either gag, gag/pol precursor proteins, or move to plasma membrane for packaging into a virion.
6) Spliced mRNA is translocated to ER, where it becomes env glycoprotein. env glycoproteins are modified in the Golgi.
7) New virus buds, undergoes proteolytic maturation.

37
Q

How are env made?

A

Spliced mRNA enters the ER, becomes env glycoproteins. Modified in the Golgi

38
Q

Reverse transcription of viral RNA to proviral DNA 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9)

A

1) tRNA primer binds to primer-binding site on 5’ end of RNA
2) tRNA primer is extended to 5’ end of RNA. RNAse H removes hybridised RNA
3) R sequence on DNA hybridises with R sequence on RNA. First ‘jump’
4) DNA is extended.
5) Most of hybridised RNA removed, except for a primer beside U3
6) 3’ end of second DNA strand synthesised
7) RNA and tRNA primer removed
8) Second jump. PBS (primer binding site) hybridise
9) Extension of DNA (both strands)
