Transcript of Biology 331 Virology I Recall - non-cellular, obligate intracellular parasites.
Biology 331Virology I
Recall - non-cellular, obligate intracellular parasites
Some History
1889 - Beijerinck, Tobacco Mosaic Virus - filter
1969 - Baltimore, first retrovirus
Electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography (mid-1900’s) required to actually see viruses.
All Viruses Contain Genetic Material
DNA or - single or double stranded (ss, ds)
ss(+) = coding, ribosome can translate
ss(-) = non-coding, complement (+) made first
Form determines replication strategy
Baltimore Classification SystemClass I - ds DNA genomesClass IV - ss (+) RNA genome Class V - ss (-) RNA genomeClass VI - ss (+) RNA with DNA intermediateClass VII - ds DNA with RNA intermediateWe will not be covering Class II/III
All Viruses Contain Proteins
Capsid icosahedron shells hold DNA/RNA,
Nucleocapsid directly wraps DNA/RNA, helical
Some have structural tails, functional enzymes
But - truism of virology - NONE has ribosomes
Some Viruses Steal/Contain Envelopes
Host membrane, studded with viral proteins
Make less hardy outside host, transmission
Virus Replication - Common FeaturesAttachment - surface protein + host receptor Penetration - receptor-mediated entry of capsidSynthesis - new proteins and genetic materialAssembly - packaging of virusesRelease - exit of mature viruses from cell
Cells infected = host range; some acute, latent, chronic, oncogenic…
Class I Viruses
Virulent T4 Phage
Replication always lyses host, Escherichia
Unenveloped capsid + tail attaches to LPS
Induces contraction - DNA injected
Transcription and translation by host machinery
Temperate Lambda PhageTemperate - lysis or lysogeny of EscherichiaLysogeny - replication without lysisStructure, attachment, penetration like T4Early genes: ASSESS HOST HEALTH…BAD: late gene expressed, inducing lysisGOOD: DNA integrates, host passively copies
Transduction
Phage transfer of bacterial DNA between hosts
Generalized: accidental packaging during lysis
Specialized: recombinant viruses after lysogeny
Papillomavirus
For this course, Polyomavirus = Papillomavirus
Small, unenveloped, capsid, 65+ strains
DNA + stolen histones, less than 10 genes
All central dogma steps carried out by host
Transformation
If host cells not dividing, papilloma activates
CIS = integrating DNA turns on adjacent genes
TRANS = protein/T-Ag turns on distant genes
RESULT - benign warts, cervical cancer (4/65)
Pap tests, surgery, vaccine… condoms ???
Variola/Smallpox
2 envelopes, nucleocapsid/genome - 200 genes
Viral DNA & RNA Pol enzymes carried in virus
Host ribosomes translate - ALL in cytoplasmExit via Golgi AND cell membrane
