Warmup 1 Why do many scientists classify viruses
- Slides: 29
Warm-up 1. Why do many scientists classify viruses as non-living? 2. Draw the basic structure of a virus. Label and define capsid, viral envelope and nucleic acid.
Warm-up 1. Draw the lytic/lysogenic cycle. 2. What stage of the lytic-lysogenic cycle is a virus virulent? Temperate? 3. What determines a host range?
Viruses
What you must know: The components of a virus. The differences between lytic and lysogenic cycles. How viruses can introduce genetic variation into host organisms. Mechanisms that introduce genetic variation into viral populations.
Bacteria vs. Viruses Bacteria Prokaryotic cell Most are free-living (some parasitic) Relatively large size Antibiotics used to kill bacteria Virus Not a living cell (genes packaged in protein shell) Intracellular parasite 1/1000 size of bacteria Vaccines used to prevent viral infection Antiviral treatment
Viruses Very small (<ribosomes) Components = nucleic acid + capsid ◦ Nucleic acid: DNA or RNA (double or single-stranded) ◦ Capsid: protein shell ◦ Some viruses also have viral envelopes that surround capsid
Viruses Limited host range ◦ Entry = attach to host cell membrane receptors through capsid proteins or glycoproteins on viral envelope (animal) ◦ Eg. human cold virus (rhinovirus) upper respiratory tract (mouth & nose) Reproduce quickly within host cells Can mutate easily ◦ RNA viruses: no error-checking mechanisms
Simplified viral replicative cycle
Viral Reproduction Lytic Cycle: ◦ Use host machinery to replicate, assemble, and release copies of virus ◦ Virulent phages: Cells die through lysis or apoptosis Lysogenic (Latent) Cycle: ◦ DNA incorporated into host DNA and replicated along with it ◦ Bacteriophage DNA = prophage ◦ Animal virus DNA = provirus ◦ UV radiation, chemicals: lysogenic lytic cycle ◦ Temperate Phage: uses both methods of replication
Bacteriophage Virus that infects bacterial cells
Lytic Cycle of T 4 Phage
Lytic Cycle vs. Lysogenic Cycle
Animal viruses have a membranous envelope Host membrane forms around exiting virus Difficult for host immune system to detect virus
Retrovirus RNA virus that uses reverse transcriptase (RNA DNA) Newly made viral DNA inserted into chromosome of host (provirus) provirus Host transcribes provirus to make new virus parts Example: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
HIV = Retrovirus
HIV ◦ Origin: Chimpanzee virus ◦ Infects white blood cells (helper T) ◦ HIV+: provirus (DNA inserted), latent ◦ AIDS: <200 WBC count, opportunistic infections
Other Human Viruses Herpes virus Smallpox Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) Eradicated in 1979 due to worldwide vaccination campaigns
Emerging Viruses = mutation of existing viruses Pandemic: global epidemic
Current Outbreaks Zika Virus ◦ Spread by Aedes mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) ◦ Major outbreak in Brazil and Latin America ◦ Linked to birth defects (microcephaly) Dengue Fever Chikungunya
Zika Virus (as of Dec. 2015)
Drugs for Prevention/Treatment Vaccine: weakened virus or part of pathogen that triggers immune system response to prevent infection ◦ Ex. HPV, MMR, Hep. A, Flu shot Antiviral Drugs: block viral replication after infection ◦ Ex. Tamiflu (influenza), AZT (HIV)
Viroids Small, circular RNA molecules that infect plants Cause errors in regulatory systems that control plant growth Eg. coconut palms in Philippines
Prions Misfolded, infectious proteins that cause misfolding of normal proteins Eg. scrapie (sheep), mad cow disease (BSE), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (humans), kuru (humans – New Guinea)
Diseases caused by prions Prions act slowly – incubation period of at least 10 years before symptoms develop Prions are virtually indestructible (cannot be denatured by heating) No known cure for prion diseases Kuru in New Guinea
Prion Neurodegenerative Diseases Alzheimer’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease
