Helical - rod shaped


(interact with an identical protein subunit in an identical manner, also interacts with viral genomes) + are nucleocapsids + can be composed of one type or multiple types




Polyhedral - round viruses (called icosahedral symmetry)


(appear round because of symmetry, have a defined number of proteins - rules: 60, 180, 240, 960 + solid with 20 faces (20*3 subunits) - larger virus has 60*3 (180 identical subunits))

whats the role of SU (surface proteins) of HIV pq120

to interact with sepcific host receptors

why is every "found" HIV virus genetic different?

Because viruses lacks 3'-5' exonuclease activity (proofreading)




results in 1-10 nucleotide errors per synthesis




this heterogeneity in retrovirus populations results in a collection of variants or quasispecies

- lifestyle can dictate subtypes

(2) - fungus Curvularia protuberate permits plant survival but cannot survive at high temp so the fungal thermotolerance is mediated by the curvularia thermal tolerance virus (CThTV)




(3) - nicer flowers - potyvirus (tulip breaking virus) (TBV) results in the pattern



the 2 major themes in virology?

1 - viral genomes are obligate molecular parasites. They can only function after the replicate in a host cell




2 - Viruses must make mRNA that can be translated by host ribosomes. Thus, they use the host protein synthesis machinery to make viral proteions


NO VIRUS CAN TRANALATE PROTEINS FROM mRBA OF THEIR OWN!!!!

obligate molecularparasites

they can only function after they replicate in the host

TAKE HOME #1

A virus is a vary small, infectious, obligate, intracellular parasite that needs a cellular host

what is a virion?

an vehicle to transmit virus elements to a net host

describe the 3 cytopathic effects that a virus can induce inside a cell

Cell lysis




syncytia - fusion of adjacent plasma cell membranes. Results in a multinucleate array of cells




Transformation - cells are no longer flat but divide uncontrollably to become piles or round cells

who to tell that a viruses are doing to cells when cell fail to display cytopathic effects

1 - measure infectivity - plaque assay after virus infection of bacteria - plaques: are where bacteria have been infected


a) add virus


b) overlay cells with a ager


c) when infected cells release progeny; spread is halted by agar




or stain plaque assay with crystal violet - stain cells that are alive




particle-to-PFU ration: are all viral particles infectious? - #of virus particles/number of infectious particles (200 - for every virus only 1 infected)




THE 3 ABOVE ARE MEASURE INFECTIVITY




2 - transformation assay


cartain viruses do not form plaques but form foci - so count foci and get forming unit per/ml




if we cannot measure infectivity using plaque assay or transformation assays we can use measure virus particles ----- measure virus particles after bursting




a) Physical measurement: Hemaglutination assay - cartain viruses contain proteions that bind to red blood cells - coat the side of the tube




b) viral enzyme activity: Retroviruses (such as HIV) captain active enzymes such as reverse transcriptase - open op virus and ass radioactively labeled ATPs




c) Immunostaining - use direct or indirect immunustaining




d) immunoblotting




e) sequencing. useful for low viral abundance genes
