Structure of Viruses

Types of Viruses
• DNA• RNA• Retroviruses

Main Shapes
• Helical
• Icosahedral

How Viruses Replicate
• 1. Attach to and Enter Host Cell• 2. Take over Protein synthesis machinery
inside of cell- Lysogenic Cycle• 3. Lytic Cycle- Lyse out of cell to go make more
Virus Babies

Retroviruses
• Use Reverse Transcriptase to make Viral RNA into DNA – HIV is a Retrovirus

Who can get a virus?
• Just about every kind of organism• Obligate intracellular parasites• Host Range and Tissue Tropism– Hep- liver– Rabies-neurons– Chickenpox…..can you ever really get rid of it?

HIV
• AIDS first reported in the US in 1981• Originated in Africa in the 1950’s based on the
rate of mutation• Closely related to a chimpanzee virus

Some people are resistant to HIVHow?
• Recent research suggests that people who were immuned to smallpox may also be immuned to AIDS
• Due to a mutation in CCR5 receptor• Makes virus unable to bind to cells and enter.

How the HIV Infection Works

Treatments
• Combination Drug Therapy– AZT and Protease inhibitors
• Vaccine Therapy• Chemokines and CAF• Blocking CCR5

Other Viruses
• Flu– Recombination vs mutation
• Emerging viruses– Ebola– Sars– Hantavirus
• Viruses can cause cancer

Prions and Viroids
• Prions- misfolded protein • TSE’s are caused by prions– Why is this controvericial?
• Viroids- infections RNA with no protein coat.
