Test 2: retro Flashcards
baltimore classification
positive sense RNA into negative sense DNA then added into host DNA
retrovirus are
enveloped, diploid linear positive sense ssRNA
retrovirus bring — into the cell with them
reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase
integrase- helps put viral DNA into host chromosome
protease- cleaves
tRNA- primer for reverse transcription reaction
— which mediates insertion of viral DNA into host
chromosome
Integrase
retorovirus
— which cleaves specific sites within Gag and Gag-
Pol precursor protein
Protease
retrovirus
retrovirus has what three genes
gag
pol
env
— are found at the beginning and the end of the retrovirus gene
LTR- long terminal repeats
acts an enhancer and promoter- can accidently cause cancer by triggering the wrong gene
Gag protein creates
structural
matrix, capsid, nucleocapsid
retrovirus
Pol protein encodes for —
protease
reverse transcriptase (DNA polymerase and RNase H activity)
integrase
retrovirus
Env protein encodes for
surface glycoprotein
transmembrane protein
accessory genes in retroviruses help
promote viral expression
avoid host immune system
retrovirus binds to host cell by —
surface envelope proteins
retrovirus gets into host cell by
virus host cell membrane fusion
diploid ssRNA retrovirus becomes — inside the host cell
reserve transcriptase into dsDNA that will move into nucleus and integrase enzyme will insert dsDNA randomly into host genome
provirus
what is a retrovirus provirus?
diploid ssRNA will reverse transcriptase into dsDNA and be randomly added into the host genome with the help of integrase enzyme
transcription of retrovirus is by
host RNA polymerase II
retro first reverse transcriptase into dsDNA, integrase adds it to host DNA, then RNA polymerase comes in and makes viral mRNA
LTR at the beginning and end of the viral genome will help trigger the RNA polymerase to start its job
how does retrovirus get out of the cell
virion budding
host cell does not die!
protease helps retrovirus —
translation and viron assembly
surface encelope protein for retrovirus is —
host/species specific
because retrovirus are — they can be killed by disinfectants
enveloped
why are animals considered persistently infected for retoviruses
viral genome added into host genome- even if not shedding can not get rid of the provirus retroviral dsDNA
— in retrovirus has no proof reading and leads to high mutation
reverse transcriptase
takes diploid viral ssRNA into dsDNA
mutations make it hard for host to see virus
