Cards

Term
baltimore classification
Definition
classifying virus based on genome type and the polymerases that go with them
Term
+ RNA virus'
Definition
POLIO,SINDBIS, Murine Hepatitis, MS2, Qbeta
Term
Picornaviridae meaning and virus in it
Definition
small RNA virus, polio
Term
Genome type for and shape polio
Definition
SS + RNA, icosahedral (looks like typical PHAGE)
Term
# of coat proteins for polio and 4 functions
Definition
4 proteins (34k,30k,26k,7k), protects RNA, Has specific receptor, determines host range and tissue tropism, delivers and disgorges DNA
Term
Polio virus RNA description
Definition
poly A 3', viral protein genome on 5' end, 7435 NT's long, one open reading frame, 740 NT's non coding on 5'which is leader and 80 on 3'terminal
Term
Polio growth description
Definition
one step growth in 5-10 hours, .1-2% plaque forming efficiency, mutates every 10-4 per base position
Term
Polio Virus adsorbtion, penetration, etc...how does get there
Definition
Receptor mediated endocytosis, acidification of endosome, conformational change of capsid including loss of v4
Term
Steps for Polio virus genome replication
Definition
1.)form polysome on incoming RNA
2.)form polyprotein which is cleaved during translation into 3 segments (p1,p2,p3)
3.)Intiation of replication on smooth cytoplasmic membranes in a replication to make a dsRNA intermediate
4.)Intitiation occurs at 3' end of the + RNA poly-A tail and the genome is held circular by virus and Host proteins
5.)Loosely held antigenome is only found conected to genome and allows for up to 5 multiple initiations
6.)newly synthesized antigenome is used to make more genome with Vpg attached to 5' end
Term
effect polio has on cell and why
Definition
shuts down translation of host mrna by cleaving eIF 4G in cap binding complex (no 5' for polio)
Term
polio strands amounts
Definition
-RNA synthesis doubles every 15 minutes at first but then but then makes up 10% at end. As amount of proteins made increases amount of + RNA gets packaged at according rate
Term
Sindbis virus family and general structure
Definition
togaviridae, 5' cap poly adenylated + mrna, icosahedral enveloped, 2 open reading frames
Term
sindbis virus eclipse phase steps
Definition
1.)translation of first 7,600 bases for polyprotein that is cleaved
2.)formation of 49s antigenome from 49s genome
Term
what occurs for translation of 26s mrna in sindbis virus
Definition
c is cleaved on it to give hydrophobic signal, which is bound to signal particle receptors in host cell.
