Which viruses are the ones that have polyprotein function?
Picornoviruses - like poliovirus and rhinovirus
What is the name of the piece of the polyprotein (the protease part) that cleaves all the other
3Cpro
How are alphaviruses different than picornoviruses (they are all class I)?
Alpha viruses are larger, surrouned by envelope. But they also first translate the main proteins needed for replication, then they replicate the plus strand into minus strand, then they take the minus strand template and make more plus strands AND some sub-genomic mRNA
What is a member of the flaviruses, and how does it replicate?
West nile - class I postive sense RNA --> enveloped, it replicates just like picornoviruses, but as a subgenomic componenet like alphaviruses
What is included in coronaviruses?
SARS, common cold viruses, etc.
What is significant about cornoviruses being class 2 RNA relication?
they are SO big...
the polymerase is made first, then IT goes back and makes a WHOLE minus strand copy. the minus strand template surives to make more full plus strands and MULTIPLE subgenomic mRNA (the big difference from class I)
What is the receptor for coronavirus in the lungs, (note this virus is CLASS II replication, not that it matters, just fyi)
ACE-II receptor -- expressed in lungs, heart, kidney, GI
Significant about minus strand RNA?
It has the polymerase packaged in the virion
Examples of minus strand RNA viruses?
Rhabdovirus (rabies)
The first step of positive RNA is translation, for minus strand its....
transcription. It goes minus-plus-minus
What viruses cause tumors?
DNA viruses:
1) HPV -cervical cancer

RNA viruses:
1) HTLV-1: T cell leukemia
2) Hep C - hepatocellualr carcinoma
T/F - retroviruses are RNA viruses.
True
4 classes of oncogenes:
1 - oncogenic growth factor that mimics other factors (rare)
2 - mutated receptors - becomes activated inappropriatley
3 - intracellualr transducers - dysregulate these RAS or PKC
4 - transcription factor - change expression these so you get transciripton of growth factor genes
Why do most retroviruses not cause transformation?
b/c they insert into an incosequential part of the host genome

What is the principle trigger for Type I interferon?
dsRNA
example of a segmented virus
