Q

Single-stranded, negative sense RNA viruses (-ssRNA): Transcription

A
  • Negative-sense RNA
  • Non-readable for the ribosomes
    • → Viral RdRp - structural
  • Transcription mode
    • Complimentary (+) thread synthesis
      • → mRNA
17
Q

Single-stranded, negative sense RNA viruses (-ssRNA): Replication

A
  • RdRp in replication mode
    • → dsRNA in the nucleocapsid
    • → Full-length +ssRNA synthesis
    • → -ssRNA synthesis
  • Finally, negative threads stay in the progeny virions
18
Q

Steps of transcription, translation + NA replication: Viruses using reverse transcriptase

A
  1. Transcription
  2. Translation
  3. Replication
19
Q

Which viral family uses reverse transcriptase

A

Retroviridae

20
Q

Viruses using reverse transcriptase: Transcription

A

Genome uses mRNA but:

  • Reverse transcriptase transcribes to → dsDNA

dsDNA integrates into the cellular genome

Cellular transcriptase → mRNA production

21
Q

Viruses using reverse transcriptase: Translation

A

Polycistronic mRNA - Protease cleavage

22
Q

Viruses using reverse transcriptase: Replication

A

Transcription

  • _​​_mRNA will serve as the genome of the progeny viruses
23
Q

Hepadnaviridae: Circular ss/dsDNA: Transcription

A
  • Repair of the gapped genome: Viral polymerase
  • Cellular transcriptase: mRNA production
    • Short transcripts → Proteins
24
Q

Hepadnaviridae: Circular ss/dsDNA: Translation

A

Monocistronic mRNAs

25
Q

Hepadnaviridae: Circular ss/dsDNA: Replication

A
  • Full-length transcripts of ‘mRNA’
  • Maturation: Viral reverse transcriptase produces complementary DNA thread
  • Circularisation, partly completed to dsDNA
26
Q

Give the importance of eclipse strategies

A
  • Consequences on pathogenesis/epidemiology
  • Detection of intermediate forms
  • In vitro protein expression studies
  • Anti-viral drug development
    • HIV:
      • Reverse transcriptase inhibitors
      • Protease inhibitors
