When a virion infects a host cell what happens?
|
you either get disease of host cell or genetic alteration of host cell
|
|
Disease of host cell is
|
a productive infection - (more virus is produced)
|
|
What happens to the host cell after a productive infection
|
1. lysis of cells which releases the virions and the host cell dies
2. release of virions-non-lysis of cells so then there is a continucus leakage of virions due to host cell multiplies |
|
Genetic alteration of host cell
|
Latent state-nucleic acid of virus becomes part of host cell DNA which means the host cell is often modified and continues to multiply
|
|
Despite the capability of animal viruses to infect a variety of cells
|
only a limitd cell types or species are able to support productive infection or replication of some viruses
|
|
A common feature of all viruses that replicate in host cells is
|
is it takes place within the host cell and relies primarily on the metabolism of the host cell
|
|
what are the stages of a productive infection
|
adsorption, penetration, uncoating, transcription, translation, synthesis of nucleic acids, assembly of new viral particles, and egrass
|
|
What is adsorption in an enveloped virus?
|
it involves attachment between viral envelope using surface glycoprotein (peplomers) and specific receptors on the cell surface.
|
|
What is adsorption is a naked virus?
|
the attachement tkes place between specific capsid proteins and cell receptors
|
|
What is penetration in an enveloped virus?
|
enveloped viruses penetrate cell by fusion of the viral membrane with cell membrane, thereby releasing the nucleocapsid directly into the cytoplasm.
|
|
What is penetration in a nake virus
|
Naked virus penetrate the cell by phagocytosis (viropexis) of the virion from the extracellular fluid. The virion resides within a vacuole, which eventually dissolves, releasing the virion into the cytoplasm.
|
|
Where does uncoating take place?
|
it takes place in the cytoplasm where cell enzymes attach and partially remove the capsid structure.
|
|
What uncoats all animal viruses except pox virus
|
cellular proteases
|
|
Once uncoating is complete can infectious virus be recovered from the cell
|
not really
|
|
What does uncoating mark?
|
the beginning of eclipse phase of replication which is a phase when infectious virus cannot be dected
|
|
What stages are the same for DNA and RNA viruses
|
Adsorption, penetration and uncoating
|
|
What happens after the virus is uncoated?
|
the viral DNA migrates to the host nucleus and enters through a nuclear pore.
|
|
Once in the nucleus what happens?
|
the viral DNA is transcribed by host cell DNA dependent RNA polymerase
|
|
How is the virus translated?
|
Viral messenger RNA (mRMA) is processed in the same manner as cellular mRNA and it is transported to the cytoplasm, where it is translated into proteins by cellular ribosomes and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.
|
|
Are DNA containing viruses double stranded DNA?
|
Yes except for parvoviruses and papovaviruses (which is single circular DNA which replicates semiconservatively)
|
|
How is replication done?
|
Begins at one or more unique sites and proceeds bidirectionally, except in adenovirus, in which the DNA replicate unidirectionally.
|
|
What happens in DNA synthesis?
|
capsid proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm, and migrate to the nucleus, where they aggregate into capsomers and assemble into capsid.
|
|
When is the DNA put into the virus?
|
It is inserted into the capsid is formed
|
|
Where are all DNA viruses assembled?
|
is in the host nucleus except for pox virus
|
|
Pox virus assembly happens?
|
in the cytoplasm
|
|
What are the methods of DNA replication?
|
Semiconservative
conservative dispersive |
|
Semiconservative replication
|
describes the method by which DNA is replicated in all known cells. You produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one entirely new strand
|
|
Conservative replication
|
would leave the two original template DNA strands together in a double helix and would produce a copy composed of two new strands containing all of the new DNA base pairs.
|
|
Dispersive replication
|
Would produce two copies of the DNA, both containing distinct regions of DNA composed of either both original strans or both new strands.
|
|
How does a virus get an envelope?
|
Envelopes are formed around the nucleocapsids by budding from the inner layer of the nuclear membrane. The bud detaches itself and is free within the perinuclear space.
|
|
Enveloped virions are released from the cell by?
|
passing through the endoplasmic reticulum to the extracellular spaces or using the outer layer of the nuclear membrane to form vacuoles that contain one or more virions. These vacuoles are transported to the cell surface, where they release the virions.
|
|
How does an non enveloped DNA virus get out?
|
They are synthesized until host cytopathology prevents production of new virions. The virions are released from the nucleus only when the nuclear membrane disintegrates and from the the cells after the cell dies.
|
|
Once released from the nucleocapsid, what does the RNA virus due?
|
it remains in the cytoplasm and the entire replication cycle. (which means there is no nuclear involvement except for orthomyxoviruses and retroviruses)
|
|
What does replication of a single stranded RNA molecule require?
|
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Which does not exist in an uninfected cell. They acquire it in two ways.
|
|
An infected cell can acquire a RNA-dependent polymerase it two ways. What are they?
|
Positive strand viruses and Negative strand viruses
|
|
Positive strand viruses
|
(those that have polarity of mRNA), the parental RNA acts directly as mRNA and is translated into the RNA-dependent RNA plymerase, and ito capsid protein.
|
|
What does this newly synthesized RNA-dependent RNA polymerase do?
|
it initiates the synthesis of a complementary negative strand of RNA and the synthesis and displacement of new positive strands of RNA, some of which act as additional copies of mRNA and some are encapsidated to produce new virions
|
|
Negative stranded viruses
|
(those viruses with RNA that have polarity complimentary to mRNA), their RNA cannot act as mRNA. They required RNA dependent polymerase is brought into the cell by the virions.
|
|
So what is this this new polymerase molecule?
|
the new polymerase molecules that are bound to the RNA are produced using the virus message and are incorporated into the newly produced virions
|
|
How are naked viruses released from the cell?
|
when the cell dies
|
|
How does and enveloped RNA viruse get released?
|
released by budding through the plasma membrane. The viral envelope attaches to cell inner membrane, and budding process occurs by an out folding and pinching off of a segment of the membrane.
|
|
Which viruses bud through the plasma membrane?
|
orthomyxoviruses, paramyxoviruses, rhabdoviruses, arenaviruses, togaviruses of the alphavirus and rubivirus
|
|
Which viruses bud through the intracytoplasmic?
|
coronaviruses and flavivirus (yellow fever) of togavirus group
|
|
What is an abortive infection?
|
any virus-host cell interaction that does not lead to synthesis of new infectious virus
|
|
Can an abortive infection cause cell damage?
|
yes, and death if cell metabolism is interrupted
|
|
What is a latent infection?
|
it is when the virus persis but does not replicate or destroy the cell. The total genomeof the virus is conserved, and future events can trigger virus replication
|
|
What is transformation?
|
any virus-host interaction that results in heritable change in th cell. This change must be transferred to cell progeny
|
|
What can happen to these cells?
|
nay not destroy the cell, often the cells are endowed with new properties that lead to vigorous growth, to long term growth in culture and frequently to malignancy
