Medical Microbiology Li Mei Department of Microbiology November, 2006 Virology Chapter 19 General Properties of Viruses Structure Replication What is virus? Viruses the smallest infectious and acellular microbe consisting only one kind of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), and which obligately replicate inside host cells. Virions The complete mature viral particles. (The intact infectious virus particles.) Distinctive features • • • • • Acellular microbes Pass through 0.2μm filters Obligatory intracellular parasites. Contain either DNA or RNA Self-replication I. Size, shape and structure A. Size: The unit of measurement parvoviruses nm poxviruses Comparative sizes of virions and bacteria • • • • • • • • • 1. Staphylococcus aureus 2. Rickettsia 3. Chlamydia 4. Poxviruses 5. Bacteriophage of E. coli 6. Influenza virus 7. Adenovirus 8. Encephalitis B virus 9. Poliovirus I. Size, shape and structure B. Shape: Tobacco mosaic virus: rodshaped Poxvirus: brick-shaped HIV Spherical VSV (Vesicular stomatitis virus): bullet-shaped Bacteriophage T4: tadpole-shaped Ebola Virus: filamentous shape I. Size, shape and structure C.Structure: Basic structure: Core: Viral nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) Capsid: Protein shell capsomers (morphological subunit) polypeptide molecules (chemical subunit) Core + Capsid → nucleocapsid I. Size, shape and structure Naked virus: Virion: nucleocapsid. Enveloped virus: Virion: nucleocapsid+Envelope spikes (peplomers); Others: enzymes, etc. e.g. Retrovirus has reverse transcriptase Influenza virus HA - hemagglutinin NA - neuraminidase nucleocapsid lipid bilayer envelope I. Size, shape and structure 2. Symmetry of viral nucleocapsids -- is decided by arrangement of capsomers • Helical symmetry (e.g., tobacco mosaic virus) • Icosahedral symmetry (e.g., adenovirus) Complex symmetry (e.g., poxviruses ) Influenza virus Unconventional viruses • Viroid – plant disease – Human Hepatitis D a single circular RNA molecule without a protein coat which mainly cause plant diseases. • Prion – Proteinaceous infectious particle infectious agents composed of a single glycoprotein with MW 27– Human diseases: e.g., Kuru 30 kDa. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome (GSS) Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) – Animal diseases: e.g., Scrapie Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) II. Replication In host cell, virus replicates its nucleic acid and synthesizes its proteins, then assembles them to form progeny viral particles that are released by budding or cell lysis. II. Replication A. Normal Replication – Adsorption /Attachment – Penetration – Uncoating – Biosynthesis – Assembly – Release II. Replication Attachment / Adsorption Attachment / Adsorption II. Replication Penetration Mechanisms: A. Endocytosis II. Replication B. Fusion between cell membrane and viral envelope The enveloped viruses II. Replication C. Nucleic acid translocation: Some bacteriophages and naked viruses • penetration outside inner A B C D II. Replication Uncoating: The process that capsid is removed and viral nucleic acid is released in the host cell. Biosynthesis: Eclipse phase Biosynthesis includes: Viral genome replication Viral protein synthesis Types: dsDNA, ssDNA, dsRNA, +ssRNA, -ssRNA, Retrovirus Biosynthesis dsDNA viruses: e.g., Herpes simplex virus Cell’s DDRP dsDNA (template) early mRNA DDDP early proteins semi-conservative replication progeny viral DNA late mRNA (nonstructural proteins) late proteins (structural proteins) assembly progeny viral nucleocapsid +ssRNA virus Examples: Poliovirus, HAV (+) ssRNA Translation (-) ssRNA Replication Release Cleavage RNA polymerase Structural protein Viral proteins -ssRNA virus e.g., influenza virus RNA Polymerase Transcription RNA Polymerase Structural protein Translation II. Replication Assembly Naked virus: capsid + viral genome → nucleocapsid (virion) Enveloped virus: nucleocapsid + envelope → virion Site: a. DNA viruses (except poxvirus): cell nucleus; b. RNA viruses and poxvirus: cell cytoplasm; Manner: a. assemble as empty shell (procapsids), then viral genome fill in. b. Viral capsomers array around the viral genome to form helical symmetry. II. Replication Release The process of progeny viruses getting out of host cell. – Naked viruses: released by cell lysis. – Enveloped viruses: usually released by budding. During budding enveloped viruses acquire their envelope. – Defective measles virus: release from cell to cell via cell bridges. SSPE (Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) Host cell lysis Budding • release II. Replication B. Abnormal replication: – Defective viruses – Abortive infection II. Replication Defective viruses: are genetically deficient and incapable of producing infectious progeny virions. Helper virus: can supplement the genetic deficiency and make defective viruses replicate progeny virions when they simultaneously infect host cell with defective viruses. e.g., AAV & adenovirus Defective Viruses • Defective Viruses lack gene(s) necessary for a complete infectious cycle • helper viruses provide missing functions A A B B Defective interfering particles (DIP) DIP: • Defective viruses which can occupy the cell machinery necessary for normal virus replication to prevent virus production, are called "defective interfering particles" (DIP). II. Replication 2. Abortive infection: Virus infection which does not produce infectious progeny because the host cell cannot provide the enzyme, energy or materials required for the viral replication. non-permissive cells The host cells that cannot provide the conditions for viral replication. permissive cells The host cells that can provide the conditions for viral replication. III. Viral interference: Viral interference When two viruses infect simultaneously one host cell, the virus A may inhibit replication of virus B. Range of interference occurrence between the different species of viruses; between the same species of viruses; between the inactivated viruses and live viruses. III. Viral interference Mechanisms of viral interference: a.Virus A may inhibit virus B adsorption by blocking or destroying receptors on host cell. b.Virus A may compete with virus B for replication materials like polymerase, translation initiation factors, etc. c.Virus A may induce the infected cell to produce interferon that can prevent viral replication. III. Viral interference: Significance of interference: Advantage a. Stop viral replication and lead to patient recovery. b. Inactivated virus or live attenuated virus can be used as vaccine to interfere with the infection of the virulent virus. Disadvantage May decrease the function of vaccine when bivalent/trivalent vaccine is used. IV. Reaction to physical & chemical agents Physical agents: Temperature, pH, Irradiation Chemicals: Phenol and its derivatives; Formaldehyde/formalin; 70% ethanol; Oxidizing agents; Lipid solvents; Biological agents Antibiotic, interferon, etc. -196℃ Differentiation of viruses from bacteria Virus Bacterium Size 0.02~0.3um 0.5~3.0um Structure Non-cellular microorganism DNA or RNA Prokaryotic microorganism DNA and RNA Growth on cell free medium Mode of multiplication Cannot grow Can grow Replication Binary fission Ribosome None Has ribosome Antibiotic Resistant Sensitive Interferon Sensitive Resistant Nucleic acid
