Introduction to Viruses 2 Flashcards
(123 cards)
vast majority of DNA viruses have
double stranded genome
vast majority of RNA viruse have
single stranded genome
parovirus is what kind of genome
single stranded DNA
what is the only family that has single stranded DNA
parovirus
where do DNA viruses replicate
where the majority of our DNA is: nucleus
what is exception to DNA replication
Pox viruses - replicate in cytoplasm
where do RNA viruses replicate
cytoplasm
what is exception to RNA viruses replicate
orthomyxoviruses - replicates in nucleus
what DNA families replicate in both nucleus and cytoplasm
retrovirus
hepadnavirus
baltimore classification is classified based on
replication strategy
ds DNA virus, how will it replicate?
nucleus
exceptoin to route for DNA virus, how will it replicate?
poxvirus will replicate in the cytoplasm
replication strategy for majority of double stranded DNA viruses
in nucleus
in the nucleus the viral DNA genome is transcribed by
host RNA polymerase
for large DNA viruses they will have what right away
immediate early and early gene products
viral DNA polymerase - ds DNA
some viruses encode their own, host cells would only have it in S phase, they wouldn’t have sufficient to replicate their genome
depending on cell virus affects it can utilize
host DNA polymerase
for herpes virus they encode their own
viral DNA polymerase
what needs to be packaged
enzymes that are required to get to mRNA stage
regarding DNA polymerase, the virus just has to
encode it
viral DNA polymerase will do what
replicate viral genome
late proteins are
structural proteins of virus
do DNA virus have to package DNA enzyme
no b/c the host cell can provide enzyme needed to get to mRNA
what is exception to DNA replication
pox virus - they replicate in cytoplasm, so even though host cell has the enzyme needed to get to mRNA, it won’t be found in the cytoplasm, so they have to package RNA polymerase
