Q

Give some examples of how large viruses proteins counteract host responses

A

Produce proteins that stop:
-interpheron signalling
-PRRs (little proteins that recognize pathogens)
-host’s gene protein expressions which stops interferon stimulated genes

Can also mess with immune responses, MHC presentation, cell cycle modulation, apoptosis, and autophagy

All of the above help viruses invade cells

Q

Give the 5 steps of basic viral infection and replication

A

1) Viral attachment (engagement of viral particle w receptoer) only the capsid attaches
2) Internalization through endocytosis
3) Uncoating- genome exits from nuclear capsid
4) genome replication (form mRNA)
5) Translation to form structural proteins (all viruses do translation some just have more steps for it to be able to happen) happens in the ribosomes
6) Assembly of proteins (ribosomes and Golgi)
7) Exit/ Egress

Q

Describe the process of viruses and viral receptors interacting

A

-Initial contact with target cell and virus is by chance

Q

How do enveloped viruses enter host cells?

A

Following binding to the receptors there is direct membrane fusion (as envelope is a lipid bilayer), then endocytosis

Remember only the capsid enters!

Q

What are the two ways naked viruses enter host cells

A

receptor mediated endocytosis (by making membrane bound vesicles)

Form pores in the cell membrane for entry (has a viral pore forming peptide accositated with the capsid so that only the genome enters)

Q

Adenoviruses enter how?

A

naked receptor mediated endocytosis

21
Q

Picornaviruses enter cells how?

A

forming holes in cell membranes

22
Q

Corona viruses enter cells how?

A

enveloped therefore, direct fusion

23
Q

Mimivirus is what type of virus and enters how?

A

Large enveloped virus and enter via phagocytosis

24
Q

Which step in viral replication is used by all viruses?

A

Translation

25
Q

dsDNA viruses replicate where? And what is their replication strategy?

A

Site: Nucleus

Strategy: uses host cell RNA polymerase 2 to make mRNA+

26
Q

What is the exception of dsDNA viruses that uses a different strategy? And where do they replicate?

A

Pox virus, Asfa virus, Irido virus (they are large and carry their own viron transcriptase) and replicate in cytoplasm

27
Q

Give some example of ds DNA viruses

A

Adeno
Hepadna
Herpes
Papilloma
Polyoma

28
Q

ss DNA viruses replicate where? And what is their replication strategy?

A

Site: Nucleus

Strategy: uses host cell DNA polymerase (to make ds DNA intermediate) then uses host cell RNA polymerase 2 to make mRNA+

29
Q

Give some examples of ssDNA viruses (2)

A

Anello
Circo
Parvo

30
Q

ds RNA viruses replicate where? And what is their replication strategy?

A

Site: Cytoplasm

Strategy: uses viron RNA dependant RNA polymerase (that it carries so does not need host cell pol) to make mRNA+

31
Q

Give some examples of dsRNA viruses

A

Reo
Birna

32
Q

ssRNA(+) viruses replicate where? And what is their replication strategy?

Filo
Borna
Paramyxo
Orthomyxo
Bunya

36
Q

What kind of virus is delta virus? How does it replicate?

A

It is a ssRNA(-) virus but uses host cell RNA Pol 2 to make mRNA+

37
Q

Describe how retro viruses replicate

A

Site: Cytoplasm AND nucleus

Strategy: Virus is ssRNA + and carries reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease. The virus directly fuses with cell membrane it uncoats and the reverse transcriptase makes ssDNA form the viral ssRNA+. Reverse transcriptase then makes complementary DNA strand so now have dsDNA (this happens in cytoplasm) . Integrase then incorporates the dsDNA into the host DNA (in the nucleus). Therefore when cell is undergoing transcription it makes viral mRNA (moves to cytoplasm) and are translated into viral proteins. Viral proteins (including reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease) self assembly . They then bud off from cell membrane, they are immature and called a nascent viron. Protease then cleaves proteins, they are then mature and infective.

38
Q

Give an example of retro viruses

A

EIA virus
HIV

39
Q

Give details of herpes virus entry, replication and egress

A

Is a dsDNA envoloped virus

-Virus ligand binds with cell receptor and capsid and genome enter

-Viral DNA goes to nucleus

-uses host DNA polymerase to transcribe then translate alpha protein.

-Alpha protein is a regulatory protein so it then re-enters the nucleus and initiates the transcription and subsequent translation of beta regulatory protein

-beta regulatory protein then re-enters the nucleus and initiates the transcription and subsequent translation of gamma regulatory protein

-It renters the nucleus and initiates the transcription of viral structural proteins and capsid proteins.

-The capsid then buds through the NUCLEAR MEMBRANE becoming enveloped that contains glycol proteins.

-It is now called a Progeny virus and goes to ER then Golgi

-then exits the cell via budding= mature

HIGHLY REGULATED PROCESS

40
Q

Describe entrance, replication and egress of flavivirus

A

Is a ssRNA+ virus (therefore genomic RNA is infectious)

-Virus enters by receptor mediated endocytosis

-Viral replication then happens in the cytoplasm

-SINGLE polyprotein is translated from genomic RNA and cleaved co/post-translationally

-buds from plasma membrane

41
Q

How do enveloped viruses leave host cells?

A

By budding

42
Q

Does budding lysis the host cell?

A

No, but weakens or kills it over several days

43
Q

Examples of enveloped viruses?

A

Herpes and pox viruses( DS DNA)
Corona (+RNA)
Influenza (-RNA)

NO enveloped ssDNA

44
Q

How to naked viruses leave host cells?

A

Lysis! They accumulate in nucleus or cytoplasm causing lysis

45
Q

Example of naked viruses? (3)

A

reovirus (RNA)

Parvo (ss DNA)

Papilomma (dsDNA)

46
Q

do all viruses bud from the cell membrane?

A

NO! (remember herpes buds from nuclear membrane), can also bud from endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, apical and basal surface of cell membrane

47
Q

Release from apical cell membrane surface is advantageous why? What viruses do this?

A

efficient transport as they exit into a lumen (typically coughed up)

Rabies, influenza, paramyxoviruses

48
Q

viruses that exit from basal surface cause what? What viruses do this?

A

Causes lesions because is pushed up
