Q

What does vaccinia produce to inhibit PKR? This has a RNA binding domain.

A

E3L

17
Q

What does vaccinia produce that inhibits PKR and has homology to elF-2?

A

K3L

18
Q

Function of K3L

A

has homology to elF-2 which prevents it from phosphorylating = blocks its action and allows translation of proteins

19
Q

Function of calnexin

A

chaperone that helps MHC I alpha and beta-2-M chains assemble in ER

20
Q

What does adenovirus express that aids in localization of virus to ER?

A

E3-19K

21
Q

How is adenovirus retained in ER?

A

it has ER retention sequence (Lys-rich)

22
Q

What is the function of E3-19K?

A

binds MHC I heavy chain –> inhibits expression of MHC I on cell surface

23
Q

What does herpes virus produce to inhibit MHC I expression on cell surface?

A

ICP47

24
Q

What is the function of ICP47?

A

blocks transport of peptides into ER

25
Q

What does HCMV produce that inhibits MHC I expression at cell surface?

A
  • US6-ER
  • Us3
  • Us11 and Us2
26
Q

How does US6-ER work?

A

prevents peptides from entering ER

27
Q

How does Us3 work?

A

retains MHC in ER

28
Q

How does Us11 work?

A

translocate MHC I to cytoplasm where it degrades

29
Q

2 mechanisms of CD8 T cells in killing virus infected cells

A
  • release of cytotoxic granules to target cell

- ligates Fas ligands on virus infected cell –> apoptosis

30
Q

Fas and what other ligand are signals for apoptosis?

A

TNFR1

31
Q

3 virus mechanisms to inhibit Fas and TNF killing?

A
  • Caspase 8 inhibitors
  • DED
  • Downregulation of Fas receptors from cell surface
