🗑
The lateral body contents of a Smallpox virion   This internal structure contains various enzymes essential for viral replication  
🗑
With the exception of _______ and ___ , all poxvirus infections of humans today are zoonoses.   All poxvirus infections of humans today, with the exception of variola and MCV, are ________.  
🗑
Average Size of Poxvirus genome (in nm)   Size of genome is 350-270 nm  
🗑
Avergae Size of genome ends of Poxvirus (in kb)   Size of genom ends are 130-230 kb  
🗑
Size of Vaccinua Virus genome (in bp)   Size of genome is 200 bp  
🗑
Cellular location of Vaccinia virus replication   Virus replication occurs solely in the cytoplasm even though it has a DNA genome  
🗑
Extracellular Enveloped Virion (EEV)   1 Form of infectous particle of Poxvirus. - occurs as 2 membranes. - membrane obtained from the Golgi apparatus & plasma membrane on the host cell  
🗑
Intracellular Mature Virion (IMV)   1 Form of infectous particle of Poxvirus. - occurs as only the inner mebrane. - membrane derived by a Gogli wrapping event  
🗑
Loss of EEV membrane   Outer Membrane is removed during uncoating. Inner membrane lost when particle enters the cell (allowing viral core to pass into cytoplasm)  
🗑
Method for Vaccinia Virus Entry   May be fusion, endocytosis, or both  
🗑
Uncoating of Vaccinia Virus   Event of this virus when the outer membrane of EEV is removed, and particle enters cell, then it loses the 2nd membrane, then viral core passes into cytoplasm  
🗑
Proteins involved with interation between Vaccinia and Cell Surface   A27L virion protein of this virus interacts with GAG on the cell surface  
🗑
3 Classes of Vaccinia Virus mRNAs   Early, Intermediate, & Late  
🗑
Self-supplied Transcriptional Machiney for synthesizing Vaccinia viral mRNAs   DNA dependent RNA polymerase; Transcription Factor (VETF); Capping enzymes; Methylating enzymes; Poly(A) polymerase; D10 decapping enzyme involved in mRNA turnover  
🗑
Vaccinia virus particles contain _____________ machinery capacble of synthesizing viral mRNAs that ARE recognized by the cell's _____________ machinery   __________ virus particles contain transcriptional machinery capable of synthesizing viral mRNAs that ____ recognized by the cell's translational machinery  
🗑
Poxvirus gene expression and genome ____________ can occur in enucleated cells, but _____________ of particles is blocked.   Poxvirus gene ____________ and genome replication can occur in ____________ cells, but maturation of particles is blocked.  
🗑
NO splicing occurs in __________ mRNAs   NO __________ occurs in poxvirus mRNAs  
🗑
With Vaccinia, Infectious particles are assembled after __________   With Vaccinia, ____________ are assembled after the late gene products are synthesized.  
🗑
Cycle of EEV membrane gain and loss   This form of poxvirus has 2 membranes. A new particle gets its 1st membrane from the Golgi of the cell, its 2nd from the plasma membrane when exiting. It loses its 1st membrane when uncoating outside of another cell, it loses its 2nd while entering it.  
🗑
Early expressed mRNAs of Vaccinia   These mRNAs of this virus encode enxymes & factors needed for transcription of the intermediate class of these.  
🗑
Intermediate expressed mRNAs of Vaccinia   These mRNAs of this virus encode enxymes & factors required for late gene expression.  
🗑
Stage in which DNA replication of Vaccinia occurs.   With Vaccinia, This ocurs between early and late transcription  
🗑
Stage in which Late mRNA expression of Vaccinia occurs   With vaccinia, this occurs after DNA replication.  
🗑
Vaccinia Late mRNAs encode for these.   These mRNAs of vaccinia virus encode for factors & enzymes packaged into the virion; AND structural proteins.  
🗑
Vaccinia virus D10 gene   The gene that encodes a decapping enzyme that may accelerate viral mRNA turnover & help eliminate competing host mRNAs from being translated by the translational machinery. !!!!!!This allows for stage-specific synthesis of viral proteins!!!!!!  
🗑
Assembly of Vaccinia involves interaction with what?   This involves interaction with the cytoskeleton of host cell, using actin-binding proteins  
🗑
newly synthesized EEVs that have exited the host cell can do what?   This of the vaccinia virus can initiate infection & mediate cell-to-cell spread  
🗑
Release of Vaccinia occurs in these 2 ways.   If this occurs through cytoplasmic membrane disruption, IMV is seen. If this occurs through budding, EEV is seen.  
🗑
Poxvirus & Immune Evasion - These are produced by poxviruses.   This virus produces VIROCEPTORS & VIROKINES that contribute to Immune Evasion.  
🗑
Definition: Viroceptors   Altered cellular receptors that have lost their transmembrane anchor sequences. They are released from infected cells & bind to virus seeking ligands, lowering innate immune system offense effectiveness.  
🗑
Defintion: Virokines   Resemble host cytokines. Are secreted like cytokines  
🗑
This resistance allele of smallpox protects individuals from HIV-1 infection   CCR5-Δ32  
🗑
Reasons why smallpox (variola) was a good candidate for eradication   has a narrow host range, there are no carriers, there are no animal reservoirs, a very effective & inexpensive free-dried vaccine was available, surveillance of disease was easy (rash is cardinal sign)  
🗑
Why vaccinia is a good virus for vaccination   good vector because it has a large dsDNA genome so it can package additional foreign genes. Foreign genes can recombine into it's genome via homologous recombination into nonessential genes.  
🗑
Cidofovir   Used to treat AIDS patients with MCV infections  
🗑
