Q

picornavirus genome replication

A
  • 3D RNAP from virus

Q

myxovirus structure

A
  • segmented (-) RNA
  • no cap/tail –> seen as foreign if no NP association
  • enveloped
  • surface proteins: hemagluttinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA)
  • cylindrical (variable in size)

Q

myxovirus transcription/genome replication

A
  • viral proteins steal 5’m7G cap from host mRNA –> used as primers to make (+) viral mRNA.
  • exported from nucleus
  • transcribed back into (-) RNA to replicate genome
  • associates with NP so it isn’t “foreign”

Q

myxovirus assembly/release

A
  • assembly at plasma membrane
  • buds off
  • neuraminidase cleaves receptor on host cell to prevent reattachment

Q

tamiflu/oseltamivir

A
  • inhibits neuraminidase
  • budded virions stay bound to same cell (not released)
  • competes with sialic acid

Q

myxovirus reassortment/mutation

A
  • antigenic shift: two viruses infect, genomes shuffle
  • antigenic drift: mutations arise randomly

Both occur at same time, constantly –> high diversity

Q

papilloma early gene expression

A
  • E1
  • E2: master regulator
  • E6: binds p53, prevents apoptosis
  • E7: binds Rb, triggers cell division

16
Q

papillomavirus genome replication

A
  • NOT integrated into host genome
  • E1, E2 recruit host machinery
  • replicated once per cell cycle (natural amount)
  • in differentiated epithelial cells: E6, E7 activate DNA synthesis of ONLY viral genome
17
Q

papilloma late gene expression

A
  • ONLY in terminally differentiated keratinocytes
  • DNA replication
  • differential splicing for L1, L2 capsid proteins
18
Q

papillomavirus assembly/release

A
  • L1, L2 transported to nucleus
  • DNA packaged into capsid
  • virions released during natural life cycle of cell (differentiate, die, slough off)
  • no need to lyse cell
19
Q

HPV16,18 transformation in cervical epithelium (oncogenesis)

A
  • RARE
  • integrates part of genome into host
  • selection for cells with E6, E7, but NOT E2 (unregulated, triggers cell division, prevents apoptosis)
  • no virion production (rest of viral genome lost or deleted
20
Q

retrovirus structure

A
  • enveloped
  • ss(+) RNA
  • Gag: capsid proteins
  • Pol: protease (PR), reverse transcriptase (RT), integrase (IN)
  • Env: envelope glycoprotein
21
Q

retrovirus entry

A
  • fusion of viral and cellular membranes
  • *NOT via RME
  • reverse transcription occurs immediately
22
Q

retrovirus genome replication

A
  • reverse transcription catalyzed by viral RT
  • host tRNA primes
  • RT synthesizes wrong direction first
  • uses segment to synthesize correct direction
  • makes (-) DNA
  • makes dsDNA
  • LTR regions become identical, form LTR circle
  • new ds DNA imported into nucleus, integrated into host genome by viral integrase
  • into random location
23
Q

retrovirus assembly/release

A
  • viral proteins targeted to plasma membrane
  • proteins assemble in a curvature
  • bud off
  • cell survives
  • not infectious until MATURATION (viral protease cleaves Gag, Pro)
24
Q

retroviral oncogenesis

A

1) viral inserts upstream of a proto-oncogene

2) viral genome already contains an oncogene

25
Q

All capsids are icosahedral except…

A

Myxovirus –> helical nucleocapsid

26
Q

Retrovirus examples

A

Rous sarcoma virus, HIV, FeLV
