|
|
|
Steps of transduction (general, 5)
|
1.phage infects donor cell
2. phage DNA/proteins made, bacterial chromosome broken. 3. Sometimes, bacterial DNA packaged in phage capsid. Donor cell lyses and releases phage particles containing bacterial DNA. 4.Phage-carrying bacterial DNA infects a new host cell. 5. Recombination can occur, producing recombinant child cell. |
|
|
Specialized transduction
|
Prophage exists in galactose-using host containing gal gene
-phage genome excises, carrying with it the adjacent gai gene -phage infects a cell that lacks -gai gene and can't use galactose -prophage and gai gene become integrated into host's DNA |

the host cell can use galactose
|
|
|

|
|
7 steps multiplication of DNA virus
|
virion attaches to host cell
2.virion enters cell, DNA uncoated 3.portion of viral DNA is transcribed, producing mRNA 4.Viral DNA replicated, viral proteins made. 5.Late translation; capsid proteins synthesized. 6.Virions mature. 7.Virions released. |
|
|
After uncoating, which RNA virus can synthesize proteins directly?
|
ss+RNA
|
|
|

|
ssRNA- (antisense RNA virus)
|
|
|
Multiplication of a retrovirus-steps
|
1.enters
2.uncoating 3.reverse transcription of viral RNA 4.viral DNA transported into host cell's nucleus; integrated into host cell's DNA by viral integrase 5.Transcription of provirus may also occur to make RNA for retrovirus capsid, enzymes, envelope proteins 6.Viral Proteins processed by viral protease, some moved to host plasma membrane 7. retrovirus leaves the host cell, stealing envelope and attachment spikes |
