|
Name the 2 types of Capsids
|
1. Polyhedral Capsid
2. Helical Capsid |
|
Capsid
|
the protein coat protecting the nucleic acid of a virus
|
|
Capsomeres
|
protein subunits which compile the capsid
|
|
Envelope
|
usually composed of some combination of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates which covers the capsid
|
|
Polyhedron
|
Most common Capsid, up to 20 sides (icosahedron)
|
|
Nonenveloped Virus
|
Viruses whose capsids are not covered by an envelope
|
|
Helical Virus
|
resemble long rods that may be rigid of flexible, viral nucleic acid is found within a hollow, cylindrical capsid that has a helical structure
|
|
Polyhedral Virus
|
(many sided virus) most are icosahedron (20 triangular faces)
|
|
Complex Virus
|
Some, esp bacterial viruses, with complicated structures (i.e. bacteriophage)
|
|
Viral Species
|
a group of viruses sharing the same genetic information and ecological niche or host range
|
|
Burst Size
|
the mean number of bacteriophage particles set free per infected bacterium upon lysis of phage-infected cells
|
|
Lytic Cycle
|
Attachment, Penetration, Biosynthesis, Maturation, Release (lysis and death of host cell)
|
|
Attachment (lytic cycle)
|
Chance collision between phage particles and bacteria, an attachment site on the virus attaches to a complementary receptor site on the bacterial cell, this is a chemical interaction in which wear bonds are formed between the attachment/receptor sites
|
|
Penetration (lytic cycle)
|
phage injects DNA and an enzyme (phage lysozyme) into the bacteria
|
|
Biosynthesis (lytic cycle)
|
phage uses host cell's nucleotides and enzymes to synthesize many com pies of phage DNA for biosynthesis of phage enzymes and capsid proteins. phage DNA are transcribed into mRNA during the multiplication cycle
|
|
Maturation (lytic cycle)
|
phage DNA and capsids are assembled into complete visions, the viral components essentially assemble into a viral particle spontaneous. Phage heads and tails are assembled separately from protein subunits, head is filled w/DNA and attached to tail
|
|
Release (lytic cycle)
|
lysozyme (encoded by a phage gene) breaks down the bacterial cell wall and the host cell breaks open (lyses) releasing the newly produced bacteriophage to infect other cells
|
|
Lamda Phage/Lysogenic Cycle
|
An alternate for some viruses which is similar to the lytic cycle but does not destroy the host cell
|
|
Attachment (lysogenic cycle)
|
phage attachés vía receptors to the bacterial host
|
|
Penetration (lysogenic cycle)
|
Viral Genome enters the host cell (nucleic acid from phage released) genome.
Integration of the host and viral genome |
|
Prophage (lysogenic cycle)
|
The integrated host and phage DNA
|
|
Duplication/Reproduction (lysogenic cycle)
|
Host cell duplicates normally but all the daughter cells have the integrated DNA/Genome
|
|
Latent VIrus
|
Enters into a latent state and needs a stressor. Integrates into nerve cells, sits until a stressor causes the virus to express itself via lytic cycle.
|
|
Temperate Phage
|
ability of a bacteriophage to display a lysogenic lifestyle.
|
|
Productive Phage
|
ability to undergo a lytic lifestyle
|
|
Where does replication, transcription and maturation take place in DNA animal viruses?
|
The nucleus
|
|
What is a Naked Virus
|
An animal virus without an envelope
|
|
Animal Virus Attachment
|
Virus attaches to proteins embedded in the plasma membrane
|
|
Animal Virus Penetration
|
Nucleocapsid enters by endocytosis or fusion
|
|
Endocytosis
|
Host cell closes around and bring vesicle into the cell
|
|
Fusion
|
When the viral envelope fuses with the plasma membrane and releases the capsid into the cell's cytoplasm
|
|
Uncoating
|
The separation of the viral nucleic acid from its protein coat once the vision is enclosed within the vesicle. The capsid is digested when the cell attempts to digest the vesicle's contents.
Nonenveloped capsid may be released into the cytoplast of the host cell |
|
Virus release
|
Budding or rupture
|
|
Budding
|
during biosynthesis, proteins adhere to the plasma membrane creating embedded spikes, the capsid meets the host membrane and is enveloped by the membrane and once fully enclosed it pinches off and breaks away. Does not kill the host cell
|
|
DNA Virus Replication Cycle
|
1. Viral DNA is released into host nucleus
2. Transcription and replication occur 3. Translation takes place in the cytoplasm; structural proteins are synthesized 4. Viral components enter nucleus where assembly takes place |
|
Retrovirus
|
an RNA virus that is duplicated in a host cell using the reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host's genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell's DNA.
|
|
Reverse Transcriptase
|
Enzyme that transcribes ss RNA into ss DNA. Then also helps create the double helix DNA
|
|
Provirus
|
a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell, hidden from the host immune system or antiviral drugs.
Replicates with host chromosome and remains latent. Needs a stressor to emerge |
|
Animal Virus Infection Cycle
|
1. Attachment via an embedded rote in in the plasma membrane
2. Penetration - nucleocapsid enters 2a. Uncoating 2b. Fusion (when has envelope) 3. DNA viral genome can integrate into nucleus of host as a provirus (is latent). RNA viral genome doesn't enter nucleus and starts biosynthesis begins immediately and ends in death of cell 4. Assembly/Maturation 5. Release a. DNA - budding, drips off cell (must be enveloped) b. RNA- rupture, destroys the cell |
|

Endocytosis
|
|
How does an enveloped virus enter the animal cell
|
Fusion
|
|
DNA Virus Replication

|
|
Acute infection
|
rapid onset, short course (i.e. common cold)
Virus released by lysis so host cell dies |
|
Persistant Infection
|
Continually increasing its problematic nature. Virus usually released by budding so cells survive.
|
|
Latent Infection
|
Integrated viral DNA, Chronic, returns with periods of remission/exacerbation
