Corona virus
Genome:
Length of genome:
Envelope:
Shape of nucleocapsid:
Genome : ssRNA positive non segmented
30 kb
Envelope: present
Shape: helical
15-30% of cases of common cold are caused by ——-
Corona virus
All that have helical nucleocapside have——- except —–
Negative RNA
Corona
Corona have the longest —— in viruses and most complicated
RNA
2/3 from the genome is dedicated for ——- aka—–
Replication
Reverse transcriptase complex
Replicase system
Genome for corona:
+ 5’ lead UTR R S E M N UTR poly A 3’
R for S for E for M for N protein
Replicase Spike Envelope Membrane Capsid
Host receptor for corona
ACE (cardiovascular)
DDP4 (in stomach)
Ace are found on —-
Cardiovascular system
Steps of corona replication:
1- fusion
2- ORF 1 +
3- ORF -
4- orf + (this will be the genome of the new born viruses)
5- HE S E M N are fragments (mRNA) that will be involved in protein synthesis for nucleocapsid
After uncoating the first step in replication will be ——– because the genome is —-stranded
Second it makes ———
Third—— subgenomic —-
Then transcription of the —– strand to form —–
Translation of RNA dependent RNA polymerase \+ Complementary - strand Nested set of subgenomic mRNA Negative strand to form the positive
Ovelapping genes present in corona genome will form —— after ——
And those proteins will form ——-
Replucative Nsps
Splicing into small proteins
Replicase complex
Copying the first 2/3 from the genome is (conti/dis)—— corresponding to—–while that of the last 1/3 is —— corresponding to —–
Continuous-replicase complex
Discontinuous - subgenomic mRNA
T or F
Sg RNA are directly used after being transcribed from the + strand genome
False
Because the result will be a negative stranded RNA
The virus should do a complementary + strand
Corona causes (chronic/self-limited)—- respiratory infections except in——
Self-limited
Neonates, elderly and people with comorbidities
T orF
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus is one of the first deadliest virus to be discovered in pigs (livestock)
True
T or F
Corona viruses are not present in companion aninals
False
Murine hepatitis virus is —– hepatitis virus and causes —— and it (can/can’t)—- infect humans but it’s used as —— to —–
Mice Demyelination disease Can't Model Understand corona viruses
—–order, coronaviridae is the family and we have —– genera
Nidovirales
4
We have —-genera for coronaviridiae family from —— order
4 genera
Nidovirale
What are the genera that infect humans?
Birds?
Alpha and beta
Delta and gamma
T or F
Alpha are more genetically variable than alpha
False
