Term
T/F

Replication efficiency varies from a few to thousands of infectious viruses produced per cell.
Definition
T
Term
t/f
Virus replication is never compatible with cell survival but often results in cell death.
Definition
F. sometimes is compatible
Term
Explain how viruses with different kinds of genomes accomplish gene expression and the production of new genomes
Definition
LO
Term
A cell is not resistant to a virus if there is no receptor
for the virus on the cell surface
Definition
F it is resistant
Term
Some viruses enter the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
dont need to worry about crossing endosome membrane
Definition
F do need to cross endosomal membrane after endocytosis
Term
uncoating
Definition
may involv:
Cellular and viral proteases may participate
For icosahedral DNA viruses, final genome release occurs at the nuclear envelope
Matrix/tegument proteins may also be released to function in the infected cell
Term
where does RNA virus replication process occur?
what are the exception?
Definition
cytoplasm

influenza and retroviruses
Term
where dose DNA viruss genome replicate ?
where does nucloecapsid assembly occur?
Definition
nucle

exception pox and hep B
Term
positive strand RNA viruss uses ______ as mRNA
Definition
genome
Term
negative strand RNA must use __________

which is located in ______virion
Definition
Rna dependent polymerasei s used in the virion, makes both mRNA and new genome (replicase)
Term
genome replication of positive strand RNA viruses
Definition
Mrna, makes replicase protein.

- replciase makes negative starnd.

-negative starnd is copied ot make new positve starnd genomes
Term
genome replication of negative strand RNA viruses
Definition
use positve strand intermediate.
-b/c it has a transcriptase, makes postive strand copies of genome
Term
what happens after positve strands are made from negative RNA strand in genome replication?
Definition
post starnds are copies to make new negative strand genome. so they can be packaged
Term
Exceptional RNA viruses that dont use regular postive/negative strand replication?
Definition
Uncoated influenza
-Double-stranded RNA viruses replicate their genomes using a virion transcriptase/replicase that
-Retroviruses have a virion enzyme system that makes a double stranded DNA copy of the RNA genome

Term
t/f

DNA viruses express genes in one phase
Definition
phases, use temporal regulatory class, nad has early and late phases.
Term
what are the gene products used for during the
1. immediate early
2. early
3. late
Definition
1. control host regulatory genes
2. Genome replication
3. Virion assembly and packaging.
Term
exceptional DNA viruses.
Definition
-Parvoviruses, polyomaviruses, and papillomaviruses

-hep B(similar to retrovirus
-pox:replicate completely in the cytoplasm and assemble in virus “factories”
Use own enzymes for all DNA and RNA synthesis
Term
Budding method
Definition
using cell membrane to make envelope.
Term
3 other envelopment strategy besides budding
Definition
1. envelop in cytoplasmic membrane.
2. envelope in nuclear then cytoplasmic (herpes)
3. de novo via cytoplasmic fragment (POX)
Term
permissive
Definition
Cells that allow a complete viral life cycle including release of infectious virus are
Term
non-permissive
Definition
Cells that take up virus but do not allow the infection to be completed are
Term
T/F
all viruses kill infected cells
Definition
False, not all but most
Term
T/F

viral proteins can not inhibit host DNA, RAN and poretein synthesis
Definition
false it can inhibit
Term
T/F
Viruses can disrupt cell membrane biosynthesis and structure
Definition
T
Term
Morphological changes that may occur (2 examples given)
Definition
1, polio:rounding monolayer damage
2. cytoplasmic eosinophil inclusion bodies
Term
abortive infection
Definition
Infection of non-permissive cells with no infectious virus production
Term
chronic infection
Definition
virus replicates
Term
latent
Definition
no replication but some viral gene expression
Term
recurrent
Definition
latent and lytic periods
Term
Transformation
Definition
Oncogenic conversion caused directly by viral gene activities
Oncogenic conversion promoted by abnormal cell proliferation in tissues damaged by viral infection
Term
How does the host fight back
Definition
interferons and apotosis
Term
how does virus fight back
Definition
interferon inhibitors
anti-apototic proteins
Term
lecture summary 1
Definition
Most RNA viruses replicate in the cytoplasm
The genome of positive strand viruses can be translated directly
The genome of negative strand viruses must be copied by a virion enzyme to make mRNA to initiate viral gene expression
The key component of replication intermediates is the strand with polarity opposite that of the genome that serves as a template for new genome synthesis
Term
lecture sum 2 highightedd
Definition
Many viruses are cytocidal (kill cells)
Cytopathologies are characteristic of viral infection

-Intracellular host defenses must face virus gene products that have evolved to evade these defenses
