Q

Poliovirus (Picornaviridiae) replication strategy

A

As it is a +SSRNA virus, it can directly be translated. After entry of the RNA, some of it is translated, some proteins are made. Those proteins (some vp proteins) act as protein primers, which is needed for the replication of the RNA. Some entered RNA pass using membrane vesicles, and are replicated in cytoplasm once the proteins are available.

Q

Alphavirus replication strategy

A
  1. Also ready to be translated upon entry.
  2. Right after entry, proteins necessary for viral replication (RNA pol, accessory proteins, proteases) are translated from the mRNA (nsp proteins)-> proteolytic cleavage.
  3. Using those proteins, + strand -> - strand replication, and some subgenomic mRNA is also synthesized from the -strand, which is translated to capsid proteins and envelope proteins (ribosomes with rough ER).

Q

Vesicular stomatitis virus replication strategy

A

Since they are -SSRNA, they have other proteins attached to their genome, so they synthesize some subgenomic mRNAS, all of which get translated by separate cytoplasmic ribosomes (One by ER attached), some of these proteins help in replication; some of the ssRNA generated go back for mRNA synthesis.

75
Q

Steps of clathrin-mediated endocytosis

A

Virus particle binds to receptor -> Adapter protein binds to receptor proteins -> Clathrin would bind to adapter causing invagination -> Dynamin pinches off vesicle -> Clathrin coated vesicle in cytoplasm -> Clathrin falls off -> The naked vesicle moves with the help of microtubules and fuses with early endosome, at pH 6, it becomes late endosome -> Releases genome

To release genome: Enveloped virions; Fuses with endosomal membrane.
Non-enveloped virions; lysis or permeabilization

76
Q

What are caveolae?

A

Lipid raft forming flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma memrabne

77
Q

Caveolae mediated endocytosis

A

Same as that of clathrin, but here invagination is caused by the lipid raft, and the caveolae coated virus directly fuses with endosome.

78
Q

Macropinocytosis for viruses

A

Virus attach to the cell surface -> Acts as a signal for plasma membrane protrusion through actin filaments -> Closure of the vesicle captures attached virions -> Macropinosome -> Late macropinosome -> early endosome -> Late endosome

79
Q

How was the diffusion constant calculated for the rates of transport of viral particles by diffusion?

A

Taking into consideration the radius of the virus and the viscosity of the water at RT. It was assumed that the diffusion constant at cytoplasm would be 500 times lower than that of water.

80
Q

A

3.85s; 0.5h

81
Q

82
Q

Vaccinia virus intracellular mature virion time to travel in water and in cytoplasm

A

83
Q

How do enveloped viruses penetrate?

A

They penetrate by fusion with either the plasma membrane or that of the membranes of the intracellular vesicles

84
Q

How do non-enveloped viruses enter cytosol?

A

By forming transmembrane channels through which the nucleocapsid or genome can pass; or inducing lysis of the endocytic vesicles

85
Q

Measles (Paramyxoviridae) Fusion (Enveloped)

A

2 Proteins (Attachment HN + Fusion F)

Initially the fusion protein is folded towards the membrane of the virus.
HN protein fuses with its receptor on the host cell membrane; Causes a conformational change in the fusion protein ; fusion peptide now exposed, N terminal cleaved by a protease, and can insert into the cell membrane

86
Q

HIV Fusion

A

2 Subunits (TM [Has fusion peptide] and SU non-covalently linked).

SU binds CD4-> Conformational change in SU-> SU in turns binds a second chemokine receptor CCR -> Bumps fusion peptide in the right position so it enters the cell.

87
Q

Influenza endosomal pathway

A

There are proton pumps on the endosomal membrane; they pump protons into the interior and lower the pH; as it is acidified; HA undergoes conformational change -> globular heads come away-> exposes a fusion peptide -> can fuse with endosomal membrane

94
Q

How does non-enveloped adenovirus release its genome?

A

Docking on the nuclear pore
+
Some proteins disassemble the endosomal membrane at low pH

95
Q

How does non-enveloped poliovirus release its genome?

A

The receptor for the virus itself catalyzes a conformational change in the virus particle that leads to the formation of a pore in the virus particle from which the genome comes out

96
Q

Co-receptors in coxsackievirus B

A

DAF; its receptor CAR is not accessible in the apical surface; its a part of tight junctions; binding to DAF initiates a cascade of signaling events; loosen up cytoskeleton, open up gaps between cells, and then virus move up to CAR and then enters.

97
Q

What is special about reovirus genome delivery?

A

dsRNA genome; (segmented) icosahedral; taken up by endocytosis; endosomes acidify; fuse with lysosomes; delivers proteolytic enzymes to lysosomes, enzymes strip off the outer shell; to end up with only the inner shell particle (ISVP-> core). As it is hydrophobic, it can easily penetrate the endosome. RNA is not released but mRNA is produced easily inside the core.

98
