Q

what is the consequence of dsRNA not being able to function as an mRNA

A

Class III viruses must package an RNA polymerase to make mRNA after infection of host cell

(genomes segmented)

Q

type of polymerase is used in dsRNA viruses

A

RNA dependent RNA polymerase

RNA dependent - because that is the type of genome it is reading
RNA polymerase - because that is the type of genome it is making

21
Q

example of dsRNA virus

A

reovirus, birnavirus, rotavirus (member of reovirus)

22
Q

mechanism of dsRNA virus when forming mRNA

A

dsRNA is transcribed to viral mRNA (v-mRNA) using a RNA dependent RNA polymerase

v-mRNA gets translated to structural and non structural proteins

23
Q

what is an immature capsid in dsRNA virus and why is it formed so early

A

immature capsid are formed from the resulting viral proteins – capsid formed early because dsRNA looks foreign to the body so for protection, it needs the immature capsid

RNA replication will be concurrent with the packaging of genome segments

24
Q

what happens once mRNA is packaged into the immature capsid

A

mRNA (viral) is copied within the capsid to form more dsRNA so more mRNAs can be formed

25
Q

what does rotavirus cause in young children and infants

A

acute gastroenteritis

26
Q

where does replication of dsRNA occur

27
Q

example of +ssRNA virus

A

Picornavirus, togavirus, coronavirus, flaviviruses

28
Q

why is a +ssRNA virus considered directly infectious

A

+ss vRNA can be infectious without viral proteins

the ends of the genome is modified 􏰁–> 5’ end - protein or methyl. nt cap and 3’ end by poly A

once modified, they look exactly like mRNA

29
Q

what are the two types of +ssRNA virus

A

IVa +ssRNA and IVb +ssRNA

30
Q

difference between the two types of +ssRNA virus

A

IVa: the infectious +ssRNA gets translated into one polyprotein which is then cleaved by proteases into multiple viral proteins

IVb: the infectious +ssRNA gets translated into several proteins

31
Q

what happens in non structural vs. structural proteins in class IV

A
  • Non-structural proteins: transcribe parental (+) RNA into (-) RNA which in turn is transcribed to (+) RNA
  • Structural proteins: make up capsids which incorporate viral RNA􏰀 into progeny virus
32
Q

where does the virus replicated in +ssRNA

33
Q

what does picornavirus include

A

Include poliovirus, hepA, rhinovirus, and enteroviruses

34
Q

example of class V: -ssRNA

A

Orthomyxovirus, Paramyxovirus, Bunyavirus, Filoviruses, influenza, Hantavirus

35
Q

what copies the -ssRNA

A

virus specific polymerase because our cells do not have the machinery to do it

RNA dependent RNA polymerase

36
Q

what are the two types of class V -ssRNA

A

Va: non segmented
Vb: segmented

37
Q

mechanism of making mRNA in -ssRNA viruses

A

-RNA is read by virus associated premade polymerase —> +RNA –> mRNA –> viral proteins

38
Q

what happens after the assembly of the capsid in -ssRNA viruses

A

incorporation of the genomic RNA and viral proteins, including the virus RNA polymerase into the􏰁 progeny virus

39
Q

examples of +ssRNA virus, RT

A

retroviruses like HIV and HTLV-1

40
Q

mechanism of +ssRNA virus, RT

A

RNA genome use reverse transcriptase (which virus) has to make DNA copy (provirus)

provirus –> viral mRNA –> viral structural and non structural proteins

41
Q

is +ssRNA virus, RT directly infectious

A

no it is not

42
Q

difference in structural vs. non structural proteins in +ssRNA virus, RT

A
  • Non-structural proteins: may be RT and other polymerases

* Structural proteins: assemble into the capsid

43
Q

what is considered the mature virion in +ssRNA virus, RT

A

The capsid incorporates the viral genome AND the nucleoproteins, including RT into 􏰁 progeny virus

44
Q

example of class VII – ds DNA Viruses, ssRNA intermediate, RT

A

Hepadnavirus and HBV

45
Q

mechanism of class VII - ds DNA viruses, ssRNA intermediate, RT

A

partially ds DNA –> ds supercoiled DNA using virus polymerase –> goes to nucleus for transcription to v-mRNA and viral pregenomic mRNA –> various structural and nonstructural proteins

46
Q

what does the capsid do in class VII - ds DNA viruses, ssRNA intermediate, RT

A

they package the structural proteins with the pregenomic mRNA and the viral polymerase

47
Q

what occurs with the pregenomic mRNA

A

they get turned back to partially dsDNA using RT then the virus begins to mature

48
Q

HBV has a strict tissue tropism to what organ
