Which viruses are the ones that have polyprotein function?

|
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
|
|

|
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) |
