Q

How do phagocytic cells take up viruses?

A

Particles are engulfed by the cell and extensions fuse around the particle. Phagosomes fuse with lysosomes and the particles are destroyed

Q

What is the process of RME?

A
  1. Ligand binds a cell surface receptor. This diffuses into an invagination coated with clathrin
  2. The clathrin pit pinches off forming a coated vesicle
  3. The clathrin uncoats the vesicle
  4. The vesicle fuses with an early endsome which is acidic
  5. The acidification releases the ligand from the receptor, and the receptor is returned to the cell surface

Q

How are rhinovirus and poliovirus related?

A

They are both picornaviruses (RNA viruses)
They both use proteins on the host cell as receptors

Q

How does rhinovirus enter the cell?

A

The virus attaches to Icam-1 and enters by endocytosis
The acidic environment of the endosome causes the uncoating of the particle and the RNA is released into the cytoplasm

Q

What does Icam-1 deep in canyon facilitate?

A

Destabilization of the capsid - there is a direct interaction between receptor and capsid

Q

Why is it significant that the receptor binding site (Icam-1) is recessed?

A

Because the receptor interaction site is inaccessible to antibodies

16
Q

What do neutralizing antibodies do?

A

Blocks the binding of the receptor to the canyon

17
Q

Where does rhinovirus bind on Icam-1?

A

D1

18
Q

What binding site does HRV overlap with?

A

LFA-1

19
Q

How does polio enter the cell?

A

Pvr interaction causes major structural changes - enters by RME
The N termini of the VP1 protein extends into the membrane which may fore a pore in which RNA can enter

20
Q

What doesn’t Fc-receptor-mediated internalization of polio allow?

A

Uncoating

21
Q

What is polio resistant to?

A

Acid

22
Q

How does influenza enter the cell?

A

It is an enveloped virus so it undergoes membrane fusion which is a regulated process involving proteins for targeting and docking

23
Q

What do enveloped viruses encode?

A

Fusogens which facilitate membranes to join together

24
Q

What is the receptor for influenza attachment?

A

Sialic acid = integral membrane glycoprotein

25
Q

What does influenza virus hemagglutinin bind to?

A

Terminal sialic acid

26
Q

Which linkage of sialic acid does avian HA prefer?

A

alpha 2-3 glycosidic linkage

27
Q

Which linkage of sialic acid does human influenza HA prefer?

A

alpha 2-6 glycosidic linkage

28
Q

How does influenza enter the cell using hemagglutinin fusogen?

A

Fusogenic peptide is exposed by an acid-catalyzed structural change
The virus RNA is in two membranes and it uses its fusogen to get out
The acidic environment of the endosome causes conformational change in HA

29
Q

When is HA activated?

A

When cleaved into HA1 and HA2

30
Q

What is the most important part of the influenza virus?

A

The fusogen and it is kept hidden until it is used

31
Q

Which receptor does SARS-CoV2 use for cell entry?

A

ACE2, binds to the spike protein
