what is a nucleocaspid |
answer
genetic material and capsid of a virus |
question
what is a viron |
answer
nucleocaspid plus the viral envelope |
question
what are the possible shapes of a nucleocaspid |
answer
symmetrical: icosahederal or helical complex |
question
what is a viral envelope made of |
answer
lipid bilayer of the host and viral glycopeoteins |
question
what are the down sides of a virus that needs an envelope |
answer
more susceptible without host to drying and acidity |
question
what are the benifits of being a virus that does not need an envelope |
answer
more resistant to acid, survive better without a host |
question
what are the options for composition and shape of the genetic material in a virus, how many combinations of this can a virus have |
answer
DNA, RNA, single stranded, double stranded, circular, linear they can only be DNA OR RNA, circular OR linear |
question
how does a virus replicate its genetic material and make babies, why does it do it like this |
answer
uses host machines to duplicate the genetic material because it has no reproduction machines, ribosomes, membranes, or enzymes of its own |
question
what is a capsid, where is it located, what is it made of, how is it compositionally organized, what is its function |
answer
it is the proteiin coat around the virus made of capsomere proteins that are repeating units because the virus has little genetic material its job is to attach to host cell receptors |
question
name a bunch of ways viruses can be named and classified (8) |
answer
capsid proteins nucleic acid composition and shape envelop or none size shape mode of replication and transmission (DNA, +/- RNA) target host type of infection where it was discovered |
question
list the virus shapes and an example for each (4) |
answer
icosahederal: 20 faces on the capsomere. adenovirus (DNA virus that infects GI and upper respiratory) complex: pox virus rotavirus: wheel like (causes watery diarrhea in kids) corona: club like glycoproteins on the surface (respiratory viruses like SARS) |
question
what is the primary way to identify a virus in clinical situations |
answer
serology |
question
what are the methods of viral transmission (11): give a few examples for each |
answer
aerosol: rhinovirus, influenza dust: urine, feces ingested: HepA, norovirus transplacental: HIV, HepB sexual: HIV, HPV, HBV, HSV-2 skin contact organ transplant: CMV, HepC, HIV injection: HBV, HCV, iV drugs bites: rabies trauma arthropod bite: yello fever, west nile, dengue, encephalitis |
question
what makes viruses host or cell specific |
answer
ability of virus to attach to the cells due to intermolecular forces, interactions between nucleocapsid (in naked virus) and virus membrane (in enveloped virus) with host membrane |
question
what occurs in the eclipse phase |
answer
virus genetic material is in cytoplasm and the virus is no longer infectous, the envelope of capsid has ben shed upon entry |
question
where does viral replication take place, what viruses are exceptions |
answer
in the nucleus except pox and rabies which is in the cytoplasm |
question
define trophism, where might it take place for example |
answer
virus travels to preferred tissue some viruses replicate and remain at site (rotavirus in the GI) some viruses replicate and disseminate |
question
give examples of viruses that replicate and disseminate and their locations |
answer
viremia: measles travels from URT to skin to CNS HIV: macrophage takes it to lymph then CD4 to CNS rabies: skin to peripherial neuron to CNS |
question
when a virus gets up to the cell how does it attach, what receptors |
answer
viral glycoproteins attach to cell membrane salic acid receptors then penetrates with fusion proteins, shedding capsid |
question
explain how retroviral genetic material is replicated |
answer
+ssRNA and viral reverse transcriptase make -ssDNA -ssDNA is duplicated with cellular DNA polymerase to dsDNA dsDNA is integrated into host genome host polymerase makes mRNA which causes translation |
question
explain how a dsDNA virus replicates its genetic material |
answer
host polymerase turns dsDNA into mRNA which causes translation |
question
explain how a RNA virus relicates its genetic materal |
answer
viral polymerase turns RNA into mRNA if mRNA is positive it can proceede to translation if mRNA is negative a viral RNA polymerase makes a positive mRNA from it then it goes to translation |
question
what is the order viral proteins are made in |
answer
1: enzymes and regulatory molecules for nucleic acid replication 2: proteins for capsid formation 3: genetic material |
question
oh no. the virus is simple and can only make one protein... how will it make all of the parts of the babies?? |
answer
its ok. the one protein is made in the ribosome of the host then proken apart into the many proteins needed |
question
explain how budding works |
answer
envelope proteins and glycoproteins are made and inserted into the host membrane nucleocapsid associates with membrane glycoproteins host enzymes cleave membrane virus acquires host membrane envelope |
question
what glycoproteins does a budding virus make |
answer
hemagglutinin and neuraminidase |
question
why does a budding virus suck even more for the cell |
answer
insertion of viral molecules into the membrane, pre budding, causes the cell to be antigenically different allowing immune response |
question
what types of viruses replicate via lysis |
answer
naked ones that kill cells |
question
what are the different types of viral infection (4) |
answer
lytic, persistant, latent/incubation, transofrmative |
question
what is a lytic infection, what type of virus may do this |
answer
causes cell lysis upon release of replicated virons polio |
question
what is a persistant infection, why can this type be sacary |
answer
cell remains alive and releases particles at a slow rate someone can be a symptomless carrier and be passing around the disease |
question
what is a latent infection? how does it work? what viruses do this? |
answer
genetic material hides in cytoplasm or genome replication is slow so immune system dosent react stress enhances the replication, then the immune system responds |
question
define a transformative virus infection |
answer
virus transforms host cell into milignant cell by changing morphology or cell chemistry |
question
why do the changes in a transformative infection cause milignancy |
answer
interfere with regulation of division or promote growth cells divide or arregrate |
question
what are examples of viruses that can cause a transformative infection (10) |
answer
human T cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 epstin-barr virus HPV 16, 18, 31, 45 HepB HepC adenovirus HVB ECV HCV HHV-8 |
question
explain the two MOA transformative viruses use to cause milignancy |
answer
direct mechanism: expression of viral oncogenes that transform cells indirect mechanism: chronically infect cells causing inflammation and mutations, production of proteins causes oncogenic mutations |
question
oncogenes: where do they come from and what evidence is there for their origin, why did god invent them initially |
answer
come from virus or host. introns suggest they originated in the host origional oncogenes in the host (protoncogenes) code for growth factors for development and such but are supposed to be turned off or controlled |
question
how do oncogenes cause milignancy (3) |
answer
when inserted into the genome the genes around them become uncontrolled can inhibit growth regulator p53 can inhibit apoptosis |
