V Flashcards
What genome does Polyomaviridae have
ds DNA with a small genome
What enzyme brings small ds DNA genome back to dogma and how
Host DNA-dependent RNA polymerase;
RNA pol transcribes a strand of the DNA and makes ss + RNA
What disease does polyomaviridae cause
JC virus
What genome does Poxviridae have
Ds DNA
What enzyme brings large ds DNA genome back to dogma and how
Viral DNA dependent RNA polymerase: Transcribes ss of the DNA into ss +RNA
Large genome ds DNA virus and family
Poxviridae causes Small pox
Hepadna virus genome
Gapped ds DNA
Hepadna virus back to dogma
Viral DNA-dependent DNA polymerase fills in the gap; Now Host DNA dependent RNA pol transcribes ss +RNA
Disease caused by gapped ds DNA genome virus
Hepatitis B
Retroviridae back to dogma
Reverse transcriptase ssDNA, then host DNA-dependent DNA pol makes ds DNA
Retroviridae genome and disease
ss + RNA w reverse transcriptase; HIV
Parvoviridae genome and disease
ss DNA; Parvovirus
Parvoviridae back to dogma
Host DNA-dependent DNA polymerase makes second strand
Paramoxyviridae back to dogma
Viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase uses -RNA strand as template to synthesise +RNA strand
Paramoxyviridae genome and disease
Ss -RNA; Measles
