Viral Replication Flashcards

1
Q

Viral growth different from bacterial because

A

Eclipse period - time between entry time and progeny creation…there is time where it is just viral DNA in the cell

Q

dsDNA virus replication and transcription

A

Transcribe genes using host RNA polymerase
Replication using host DNA polymerase

Use proteins and progeny DNA to package and export

Q

ssRNA+ replication

A

Translated by host ribosomes
Synthesize RNA polymerase (RDRP)…this then creates ssRNA-…this is template for ssRNA+ used to package

ssRNA+ also used to translate proteins for capsid

Q

Replicaiton of ssRNA- genomes

A

Contains an RDRP (already made)
This synthesizes ssRNA+ strands used to do 2 things
1) Make viral proteins including RDRP
2) Use as template to make more ssRNA- to be packaged

Q

Mech of influenza

A

HA - binds virus to host cell via sialic acid and triggers endocytosis
NA - hydrolyzes sialic acid to release

These are both glycoprotein spikes in the envelope
