Mentioned families
Okavirus –> GAV, YHV (prawns, shrimp)
Arterivirus
Coronavirus ; now 4 groups of coronaviruses
Different virus families.
Know each of these pictures.
Just shows diversity and complexity of coronaviruses
Coronaviridae – General Properties
1. Corona: from Latin corona, “_______”; refers to the characteristic appearance of surface __________ that create an image reminiscent of the ______ corona.
2. Enveloped or non-enveloped?, ____-_____ nm
3. **__________-strand RNA (27-32 kb),
- ____________ replication

- High frequency of ___________**
Coronaviridae – General Properties
Corona: from Latin corona, “halo”; refers to the
characteristic appearance of surface projections that
create an image reminiscent of the solar corona.
Enveloped, 120-160 nm
Positive-strand RNA (27-32 kb), Cytoplasmic replication
Budding into ER and Golgi
Notoriously difficult to propagate in culture
High frequency of recombination
What virus family is pictured below?
Coronaviridae
Important
Label accordingly
Label accordingly
Causes of variations among CoVs/emergence of new viruses/strains of viruses
* ______ and _____ are major reservoirs for CoVs
Some coronaviruses have ability to
-Change tissue _____
-Pass species ____
-adapt to new ecological _____
Causes of CoV variations
- Accumulation of _____ mutations
- Poor proofreading capability of ______ gene (virus in replication cycle makes errors, which convey into mutations –> development of ____ strains).
- Possibility of ________*
Bats, birds, tropism, barriers, niches, point, RdRP, new, recombination
Most-up-to-date classification of Coronaviridae
* ICTV: coronavirus group meeting Oct 2020
* Coronaviridae: 2 subfamilies, 5 genera, 26 subgenera and 46 species
Within the family Coronviridaue, name the Subfamily, Genus, and the Subgenus
Letovirinae, alphaletovirus, milecovirus
- How many groups of Coronaviruses are there?
- Name the viruses belonging to each group.
- What do the letters on the side mean?
- Gamma corona virus is specifically for which species?
- 4
- P = pigs, F = feline, C = canine, etc.
- Birds
Just FYI
6/7 human coronaviruses, some of which have zoonotic potential
VERY IMPORTANT
1.What is the length of the coronavirus genome?
2.2/3 of genome is made up of?
3.S =? HE = ?
4.Subgenomic mRNA for S, E, HE; These subgenomes make the nest.
- What is the length of the coronavirus genome? 27-31 kb, from 5’ to 3’
- unstructeed protein aka gene 1. Divided into two parts: 1a and 1b. There is overlapping between 1a and b called ribosomal frame shifting. Overlpaping frame synthesizes proteins, frame shifts back and moves into another frame in order to synthesis.
- S = ?, HE = aquired to come from influenza virus type B; Virus with HE gene is bigger than virus without it.
Gamma is shortest one: 27.6
Beta is biggest one: 31.3 kb
HE gene is 3-4 kb
Do not memorize this
Describe the pathogenesis of Coronaviruses.
Outside the host = inactive
Activated inside the host by host cell proteases (furin)
Respiraotry tract has proteases that cleave spike gkycoprotein, activating the virus.
Drugs that inhibit furin prevent infection from occurring.
What is the receptor for SARs-COV?
What is the receptor for MERs-COV?
ACE2
DPP4
Virus by negative pressure –> injected through hole into host cell.
