Replication of Virus Flashcards
what do normal cells transcribe DNA in the nucleus to?
positive single stranded mRNA
what must viruses produce in order to be recognized by cellular ribosomes
mRNA – so it can be translated
examples of dsDNA viruses
polyoma, papilloma, adeno, herpes, pox
what is the promoter for polyomavirus
SV40
what are the different classes of virus according to the genome they carry
class I: dsDNA virus class II: ssDNA virus class III: dsRNA class IV: + ssRNA virus class V: -ssRNA virus class VI: +ssRNA virus, RT class VII: dsDNA virus, ssRNA intermediate, RT
how do class I: dsDNA virus make +mRNA
they use host CELLULAR ENZYMES to transcribe IE (immediate early) and/or Early (E) mRNA
what happens with the IE mRNA
they get transcribed to IE proteins –> transcribed to E-mRNA —> translated to E-proteins
what are the functions of E-proteins
they replicate parental DNA and late (L) mRNA –> translate to L proteins —> assemble into capsids
tend to have regulatory functions in general
what does the capsid do in dsDNA once it is formed
incorporate the viral DNA to make mature virus
what is the exception to the dsDNA mechanims
pox virus – it enters the cell with all the machinery it needs and commands membrane to come to them then poke holes to get out of the cell
where are the capsid proteins for dsDNA virus from?
L (late) genes
example of a class II: ssDNA virus
parvovirus
where does replication of ssDNA virus occur and what happens with the strands of DNA
nucleus of actively dividing cells: go from a (-) strand to a template for a (+) strand
mechanism to form mRNA in ssDNA virus
ssDNA —> dsDNA (using cellular enzymes)
dsDNA –> mRNA (using cellular enzymes)
mRNA –> viral proteins
what is the function of the viral protein
they make up capsids which surrounds viral DNA in progeny virus
are there immediate early and early protein produced in ssDNA viruses
nope
shape of parvovirus and are they enveloped or not
icosahedral and nah not enveloped
how are the viruses released in ssDNA viruses
via lysis of cell
what is the consequence of dsRNA not being able to function as an mRNA
Class III viruses must package an RNA polymerase to make mRNA after infection of host cell
(genomes segmented)
