MCQ Flashcards
Simplest virus
Filamentous
What component do enveloped virus have?
Isometric
Common receptor to virus is said to be
Low affinity receptor
Viral capsid binds to?
High affinity receptor
Co receptors virus binds to are
CCR5
CXCR4
Transformation
- naked DNA uptake by bacteria, picked up by adjacent
Transduction
- Bacterial DNA transfered by phages (virus)
Conjugation
- Structural connection between bacterial cells
- passing of plasmid
Pan genome
Elements found on one or more strains
Not all strains
Core genome
Present in all genome
Monotrichous
single flagellum
Lophotricous
Multiple
same end
Amphitrichous
Single Flagellum each end
Petrichous
numerous flagellum around structure
Atrichous
No flagellum
Bacteriophage components
- capsid
- tail
- adsorption apparatus
Virulent phages enter
Lytic cycle
Temperate phages enter
Lysogenic
How does phage viral release take place from bacteria
-endolysins
-holins
- Endolysins degrade
Peptidoglycan
What protein cause conformation change
Spanin
What signalling molecule decides lysogenic/ lytic cycle?
Arbitrium
Low arbitrium
Lytic cycle
High arbitrium
Lysogenic
Phage viral DNA neither replicates or integrates, which cycle?
Pseudo-lysogenic stage
How is capsid of phage froms
(encapsulated)
- Terminase binds viral genome concatemer
- Terminase - dna binds procapsid portal
- DNA translocation (ATP-ADP)
- Contamer cleavage + packaging completion
What is burst size
Number of phages produced by infected host cell
Shift between latent and eclispe period determined with?
Chloroform
Bacteria resistance mechanisms from phage
- Preventing virus adsorptions
- prevent virus entry
- cutting virus nucleuc acid
- abortive infection
- CRISPR-CAS
Preventing virus adsorption
- Bacteria mutates receptor
- > blocking virus receptor
- bacteria changes porins in the outer membrane
Most important mechanism for virus DNA entry into bacteria
Superinfection exclusion mechanism
Phage T4 is prevented entry by which bacterial proteins?
- Imm
- Sp
Imm bacterial protein
- redirect viral DNA outside of cell
Sp bacterial protein
Stops activity of degredation of T4 lysozyme
What enzyme does bacteria use to modify its DNA?
- Methyltrasnferase
- Adds methyl
Which enzyme cleave unmethylated bits of DNA?
- Restriction enzymes
- > restriction endonucleases
What viral protein inhibits restriction enzyme?
OCR protein
>mimics DNA
>releases into bacterial cell before it hijacks
2 ways Abortive infection occurs
- membrane puncturing
- self toxificatin
2 enzymes in membrane puncturing
- Rex B
- Rex A
Obligate
Needs host to survive
Opporutunistic
Not parasitic, but can make use of opportunity
Amatoxins
- inhibit RNA polymerase II
