IDR block 4a Flashcards
All known examples of animal viruses with helical symmetry contain RNA genomes and have flexible nucleocapsids wound into a ball, surrounded by envelope. Except which one?
Rhabdoviruses
What are the three different types of shapes for viruses?
helical, icosahedral (roughly spherical), complex (non-symmetrical)
Icosahedral capsid-Poliovirus has what structural units?
VP1, VP2, VP3, VP4
___________ is sensitive to heat, drying, detergents, ether, chloroform & alcohol
Viral envelope
What feature of viruses, presents between the nucleocapsid & envelope (enveloped layer), stabilize the organization of viral glycoprotein and the lipid envelope, directs the viral genome to intracellular sites of viral assembly, facilitate viral budding
Matrix proteins
what feature of viruses present within the genome in some viruses and involved in transcription and replication of viral genome
polymerase enzymes
What are the three things are needed to have viral attachement?
Single Caspid, Viral Capsid Proteins, and Viral Capsids
Enveloped viruses lose what when crossing into a cell? When endocytosis happens, how is the envelope removed?
Virus envelope Lysosomes/acidification
Non-enveloped viruses sink onto membrane and what happens?
The viral genome is pushed into the cell
Non-enveloped viruses are endocytosed into the cell, how does the virus move into the cell?
While in the lysosome, the nucleic acid is removed from the endosome into the cytoplasm
What is reassortment? What two things can it cause
2 viral parental viruses, that can cause mixing many things rearranged Genetic drift Genetic shift
What is recombination?
2 viral parental viruses changes, normally 2 things
In the bacteriophage example what do clear and cloudy represent?
Cloudy –> lysogenic
Clear –> lytic
All DNA viruses assemble in the nucleus except? All RNA viruses assemble where?
Poxviruses Cytoplasm
Phenotypic masking or ____________: genome of one virus randomly incorporated in capsid composed of proteins from a different, or both, viruses.
transcapidation
_________are formed when the nucleocapsid of one virus acquires envelope from another type of virus.
Pseudotypes
Is Adenovirus encapsulated or unencapsulated? Generally very heat stable, what breaks down the envelope?
unencapsulated, citric acid
E1A, E1B messes up what body process? Blocks what?
Disrupt Cell Cycle Stops apoptosis
What is the most common time of year for adenovirus infection?
winter
What is the major route of spreading? What is another way of spreading this disease?
Talking about adenovirus
Oral-fecal route Droplet
What does Late 4 for adenovirus do, that is really important?
Responsible for attachment and hemagglutination; contains some serotyping antigens
What knob domain is used for adenovirus?
Coxsackie-adenovirus
What are the penton bases that interact with integrins, via adenovirus?
alphavbeta3 or alphavbeta5
What is the immunity for infants, just born? What do a lot of people have for immunity? (with respect to adenovirus)
Long lasting IgG, maternal antibodies for 6 months (infant)
Most women have bumped into adenovirus, have a naturally immunity against it due to a previous infection
