Micro Viruses Flashcards
1
Q
picornavirus diseases
A
- Rhinovirus
- Hep A
- GI disease (Coxsackie)
- Heart Disease
- foot and mouth disease
- severe respiratory infection
- poliomyelitis
2
Q
picornavirus structures
A
- very small
- 1 protein repeats for capsid
- NON enveloped
- ss (+) RNA
- 5’ VpG cap
- polyprotein
3
Q
picornavirus entry
A
-RME
4
Q
picornavirus translation
A
- by host machinery
- VpG cap
- translation initiates at IRES
poly protein –> protease, capsid, replicase
5
Q
picornavirus genome replication
A
- 3D RNAP from virus
- needs VpG-UU primer
- makes (-) sense antigenome
- makes (+) sense genome
- more efficient to make (+) than (-) RNA
6
Q
assembly/release of picornavirus
A
- assembly in cytoplasm
- (+) RNA encapsulated
- unclear release – leaves cell destroyed, LYSIS OF HOST CELL
7
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)
8
Q
myxovirus entry
A
- HA and sialic acid interact to attach
- RME
9
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”
10
Q
myxovirus assembly/release
A
- assembly at plasma membrane
- buds off
- neuraminidase cleaves receptor on host cell to prevent reattachment
11
Q
tamiflu/oseltamivir
A
- inhibits neuraminidase
- budded virions stay bound to same cell (not released)
- competes with sialic acid
12
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
13
Q
papilloma virus structure
A
- non enveloped
- 2 protein capsid (L1, L2 –> req for penetration)
- dsDNA (circular, histones)
14
Q
papilloma entry into cells
A
- attach to HSPG on basement membrane (exposed at sites of trauma)
- infection starts in basal layer
- RME
15
Q
papilloma early gene expression
A
- E1
- E2: master regulator
- E6: binds p53, prevents apoptosis
- E7: binds Rb, triggers cell division
