What does viruses require for cell replication?
A cell. Viruses hijack cellular machinery.
Two primary type of viruses:
RNA and DNA
Types of RNA viruses
Positive
Negative
Reovirus
Retrovirus
Types of DNA viruses
Double Stranded
Single Stranded
Proteins which surround viral genome?
Capsides
Types of Capsids
Icosahedral and Helical
20 Sided spheroid comprised of triangle made of capsomers
Icosahedral
Protein capsomer bound to RNA
Coiled in Helix
Spherical Shape
Helical
Capsid is encased in lipid bilayer of
Envelope
Does survivability increase or decrease outside of hosts?
Decrease
RNA Virus: Positive Strand Function Process
Functions like mRNA
Viral RNA undergoes translation to produces viral proteins and enzymes necessary to produce new viral particles
RNA Virus: Negative Strand Function Process
RNA undergoes transcription via RNA dependent RNA polymerase.
Then mRNA undergoes translation, produces proteins and enzymes necessary to produce new viral particles.
RNA Virus: Reovirus Structure
Double Stranded RNA virus
RNA Virus: Retrovirus Function Process
Part of Positive Stranded Family
RNA reverse transcribed using viral reverse transcriptase to DNA.
DNA can integrate into host cell.
DNA undergoes transcription to produce mRNA.
mRNA undergoes translation to produce proteins and enzymes.
DNA Viruses mRNA are transcribed off of the positive or negative strand?
Negative
Then translated to structural proteins & enzymes.
Viral Life Cycle STEPS
Adsorption and penetration
Uncoating of the virus
Synthesis of viral products including DNA, RNA, protein
Release of viral particles from the host cell
RNA Virus:: Positive Stranded Replication
Host cell ribosome produces virus structural proteins, viral RNA polymerase.
RNA polymerase creates negative template for viral RNA.
Proteins and RNA assemble and allow the virus to release.
RNA Virus:: Negative Stranded Replication
Viral RNA has to be TRANSCRIBED before it can do anything!!
Positive strand of viral RNA is essentially mRNA.
RNA polymerase produces negative strand of RNA for future virions.
Structural proteins, enzymes and RNA assembled for release.
Retrovirus Example?
HIV
Retrovirus Viral Replication
VIRUS IS INTEGRATED INTO THE HOST GENOME!!!!
Viral RNA undergoes reverse transcription.
Viral DNA gets integrated into host genome.
Host cell machinery is hijacked to produce viral structural proteins, viral enzymes, and viral RNA.
DNA Virus Replication
ALWAYS OCCUR IN THE NUCLEUS!!!
Transcription & Translation of proteins for DNA replication.
Proteins lead to replication of viral DNA.
Transcription events result in the production of structural proteins.
Progeny DNA and structural proteins can assemble.
Release of the Naked Virions Occurs By
Cell Lysis
Reverse Phagocytosis
Release of Enveloped Virions Occurs By
Bud through Golgi, nuclear membrane, cell membrane.
Bring a piece of the cell membrane with it as envelope.
Outcomes for host cell
Death
Transformation
Latent Infection
Chronic Slow Infections
