Q

is the adenovirus a DNA or RNA virus? explain how you can remember this

A

DNA – has fairly long incubation period (5-7 days) because it needs to travel to the nucleus and can’t just replicate in the cytosol

Q

explain how the influenza virus makes viral proteins in addition to genome for newly made viruses

A

recap: genome of influenza is 8 ssRNA(-).

makes PROTEIN—–
-RNA dependent RNA polymerase reads the (-) strand and converts it to a MESSAGE: ssRNA(+)
this mRNA is then translated into protein

makes GENOME—-
-RNA dependent RNA polymerase copies the (-) strand into a (+) strand (message.)
this serves as a TEMPLATE for generating more copies of (-) ssRNA

-the (+)ssRNA is then translated BACK to ssRNA(-) by RNA dependant RNA polymerase for the packaging of new virus
–this happens in the NUCLEUS. assembly and release at the PLASMA MEMBRANE

25
paramyxoviruses cause which disease(s)?
measles, mumps, and RSV
26
explain the envelope, nucleocapsid, and genome of paramyxoviruses
envelope -- pleomorphic with SPECIFIC attachment proteins nucleocapsid -- helical genome -- large, single strand ssRNA(-) viruses. LINEAR genome
27
paramyxoviruses invade cells through which mechanism?
membrane fusion
28
paramyxoviruses are released from host cells via..
budding
29
paramyxoviruses induce ___ formation
syncytia
30
how are paramyxoviruses transmitted? where do they establish primary infection
by aerosols primary infection site = respiratory tract
31
what are the 3 major genera of paramyxoviruses?
morbillivirus -- measles (single serotype) paramyxovirus -- mumps (single serotype) and parainfluenza viruses 1-4 pneumovirus -- RSV (respiratory synctial virus) and metapneumovirus
32
paramyxoviruses have the same replication scheme as...
influenza except replication and transcription does NOT occur in the nucleus -- occurs in cytosol when the newly made viruses bud off, they come together --- syncytial formation
33
explain the pathway of measles
local replication in the respiratory tract -- lymphatic spread -- causes viremia. then spreads rapidly to many places -- urinary tract, CNS, lymphatic system, conjunctiva, respiratory tract, small blood vessels the virus infected endothelial cells AND T immune cells produce a rash. recovery yields LIFELONG IMMUNITY
34
what are 3 rare outcomes of measles
-postinfectious encephalitis (brain inflammation) -no resolution of acute infection due to defected cell mediated immunity (CMI) -SSPE (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis)
35
does the mumps virus produce a rash?
NO
36
explain the pathway of the mumps virus
local replication in the respiratory tract --> viremia (in bloodstream). causes a systemic infection ---goes to PANCREAS -- can be associated with onset of juvenile diabetes ----goes to PAROTID GLAND -- virus multiples. causes swelling -testes, ovaries, peripheral nerves, CNS, eye, innter ear
37
explain the properties of the envelope, capsid, and genome of adenoviruses
envelope -- NO ENVELOPE capsid -- icosadeltahedral capsid genome -- linear dsDNA virus
38
how many serotypes of the adenovirus are there? which are the most common?
52 serotypes 1-7 are most common
39
explain the properties of the adenovirus in both permissive and non permissive cells
in permissive cells, the adneovirus is LYTIC in non-permissive cells, the adenovirus is latent/persistant
40
where is the adenovirus REPLICATED and ASEEMBLED

41
is the adenovirus transformative?
only in NON HUMAN CELLS
42
studying ______ virus is a useful tool in discovering gene replacement, anti-viral therapy, and cancer therapy
adenovirus
43
explain the replication scheme of the adenovirus
makes protein: dsDNA virus is converted to (+) mRNA through DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the host. this (+)mRNA is then translated into viral protein makes genome: -dsDNA in the genome is replicated into more dsDNA via a VIRAL DNA POLYMERASE called DNA-dependent DNA polymerase.

explain the VAPs of adenoviruses
the VAPs of adenoviruses are vibers at the vertices of the capsid. act as a HEMAGGLUTIN -- bind to receptors on red blood cells to initiate viral attachment and infection. the VAPS are toxic to our cells, as well as the pentose base

adenoviruses are internalized (brought into host cell) through what mechanism?
receptor mediated endocytosis cant be membrane fusion -- adenovirus has no envelope
56
how do adenoviruses get into the nucleus once they enter the host cell?
