Viruses
micro bio chap 5
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| complete viral particle- molecules of DNA/RNA enclosed in a protein coat | Virion |
| Viruses that infect bacteria | Viriod |
| Latent form of virus that lives with the host chromosome | Provirus |
| satellite RNA virus that need a helper virus to infect host cell | Virusoid |
| Proteinaceous infections agents that cause nuerodegenerative infection in human and animals | prions |
| nucleocapsid- nucleic acid is surrounded by proteinaceous caspid made of protomers | naked virus |
| have a flexible membrane around capsid. spikes are proteins inserted in the membrane | enveloped virus |
| protomers are arranged in a long cylindrical rigid tube and nucleic acid is contained in it. | Helical |
| these are made of ring like knob shaped units called capsomere which are made of 5-6 protomers. | icosahedral |
| pox virus has an ovoid to a brick shaped exterior with a biconcave central disk which is the DNA | Complex symmetry |
| phages that have a double structure with icosahedral head and a helical tail | binal |
| protomers are arranged in a long cylindrical rigid tube and nucleic acid is contained in it. example: TMV virus | Helical thise |
| adenovirus and polyoma virus | icosahedral |
| phages that have a double structure with icosahedral head and a helical tail | E.coli and some temperate phages |
| spikes on envelope | peplomers |
| used for attachment and sometimes identification | spikes |
| some have enzyme nueraminidase which helps in release of virions from host cell | spikes |
| some have hemagglutinnin proteins that cause RBC to clump together | spikes |
| attachment of virus to host cell | viral multiplication step one |
| entry of viral nucleocapsid or nucleic acid | viral multiplication step two |
| synthesis of viral proteins and nucleic acids | viral multiplication step three |
| self-assembly of virions | viral multiplications step four |
| release of progeny visions | viral multiplications step five |
| virions do not randomly attach to host but are attached to the receptors on the host surface | attachment |
| viruses can be tissue specific. example HIV viruses targets CD4 and CCR4 proteins in humans | eukaryotic hosts |
