11/4/13 Chapter 13-Viruses. Viroids, and Prions Viruses: Obligate Intracellular Parasites § Viruses simply genetic information: DNA or RNA contained within protective coat • Inert particles: no metabolism, replication, motility • Genome hijacks host cell’s replication machinery • Inert outside cells; inside, direct activities of cell • Infectious agents, but not alive • Can classify generally based on type of cell they infect: eukaryotic or prokaryotic • Bacteriophages (phages) infect prokaryotes • May provide alternative to antibiotics 1 11/4/13 History began with the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) • 1886 Aldolf Mayer showed that a virus was transmissable between plants • 1892 Iwanowski tried to isolate it by filtering with porcelain filter General Characteristics of all viruses • Contain a single type of nucleic acid • Contain a protein coat • Obligate intracellular parasites 2 11/4/13 General Characteristics of Viruses § Most viruses notable for small size • Smallest: ~10 nm ~10 genes • Largest: ~500 nm Virion (viral particle) is nucleic acid with a protein coat Contain either RNA or DNA 3 11/4/13 2,288 species 348 genera 6 orders Common Shapes Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Permission required for reproduction or display. • Naked viruses lack envelope; more resistant to disinfectants • Enveloped viruses have lipid bilayer envelope Protein capsid: protects nucleic acids Made of identical subunits -capsomers Capsomere subunits Nucleic acid Nucleocapsid Capsid (entire protein coat) Spikes (a) Naked virus Spikes Matrix protein Nucleic acid Nucleocapsid Capsid (entire protein coat) Envelope (b) Enveloped virus • Capsid + nucleic acids = nucleocapsid 4 11/4/13 DNA or RNA Genome may be linear or circular Double- or single-stranded § Viruses have components for attachment • Phages have tail fibers • Many animal viruses have spikes • attach to specific receptor sites A complex virus showing attachment fibers 5 11/4/13 Relationship of virus with host cell Bacterial viruses • • Known as bacteriophages or phages Two different life cycles 1. Lytic cycle (lytic or virulent phage)-results in lysis of the cell 2. Lysogenic cycle (temperate or lysogenic phage)-may result in lysis of the cell or becomes a permanent part of the chromosome by integrating 6 11/4/13 T4 phage replication 1. Attachment Phage uses bacterial receptors 2. Genome entry T4 lysozyme degrades cell wall, Tail contracts, injects genome 3. Synthesis of proteins and genome 4. Assembly--Some components spontaneously assemble, others require protein scaffolds 5. Release Lysozyme produced late in infection; digests cell wall--Cell lyses, releases phage Burst size of T4 is ~200 Lambda Phage replication • Lytic infection or incorporation of DNA into host cell genome • Lysogenic infection • Infected cell is lysogen • Lambda (λ) phage as model 7 11/4/13 Lambda integrates into the chromosome • Site specific recombination • Integrated phage DNA termed prophage phage-encoded enzymes • A repressor prevents, maintains lysogenic state 8 11/4/13 § Temperate Phage Infections (continued...) • Lambda (λ) phage: DNA excised from chromosome only about once per 10,000 divisions of host bacterium • If DNA damaged (e.g., UV light exposure), SOS repair system turns on, activates a protease • Protease destroys repressor, allows prophage to be excised, enter lytic cycle • Called phage induction; allows phage to escape damaged host Properties conferred by prophage 9 11/4/13 Some phage are filamentous 13.2. Bacteriophages § Filamentous Phages • Single-stranded DNA phages • Used to produce only single- stranded recombinant DNA • Look like long fibers • Cause productive infections Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Filamentous phage F pilus Phage DNA • Host cells not killed, but grow more slowly • M13 phage as model • Attaches to protein on F pilus of E. coli • Single stranded DNA genome enters cytoplasm Phage attaches to the F pilus of a bacterial cell and injects its single-stranded DNA. Phage DNA replicates; phage capsomeres are synthesized and embedded in the host cell membrane. Outside environment Carrier cell Carrier cell Phage nucleic acid gains its capsid as it extrudes through the membrane. The bacteria do not lyse. Phage DNA Capsomeres 10 11/4/13 Replication of filamentous phage • DNA polymerase synthesizes complementary strand Replicative form (RF)—one strand for mRNA synthesis, the other for genome • M13 phage coat protein molecules inserted into cytoplasmic membrane • Other proteins form pores • As phage DNA excreted through pores, coat proteins coat the DNA, form nucleocapsids M13 is ssDNA…how does it replicate the ssDNA?

Categories of Animal Virus Infections § Acute and Persistent Infections • Acute: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. • Some viruses exhibit both (e.g., HIV) State of Virus Virus disappears after disease ends. Time (days) (a) Chronic infection (hepatitis B) Appearance of symptoms and infectious virions • Continue for years or lifetime • May or may not have symptoms Infectious virions Disease Influenza Hepatitis B Days State of Virus After initial infection with or without disease symptoms, infectious virus is released from host with no symptoms. Release of virus Time Years (b) Latent infection (cold sores) Appearance of symptoms and infectious virions • Persistent: Appearance of symptoms and infectious virions Acute infection (influenza) • Rapid onset • Short duration Cold sores Virus activation Cold sores Non-infectious Days Time State of Virus After initial infection, virus is maintained in neurons in non-infectious state. Virus activated to produce new disease symptoms. Years (c) Acute viral infections • Usually short in duration • Host develops long lasting immunity • Infection with the virus results in a productive infection…host cells die as a result of infection 19 11/4/13 General Steps of Acute Viral infection • • • • • • • Attachment Entry into host cell Targeting where it will reproduce Uncoating of the capsid Synthesis of proteins, replication of nucleic acid Maturation Cell lysis—Cells lyse due to induction of cell death. This is different from the ‘bursting’ that happens in bacteria infected with phage. Persistent infections • Virus is continually present in the body, released by budding (inserted into host genome as a provirus) • Three types Latent infections Chronic infections Slow infections Slow release of virus from cells 20 11/4/13 Persistent: Latent Infections • Persistent infection with symptomless period followed by reactivation of virus and symptoms • Example of latent viruses are found in the family Herpesviridae – Herpes simplex virus -1 – Herpes simplex virus -2 – Varicella—chicken pox Latent Viral infections • All of these viruses are in the Herpesviridae family 21 11/4/13 Herpesviridae Family • Double stranded DNA (dsDNA), enveloped viruses -herpes simplex virus type 1(cold sores) -herpes simplex virus type 2 (genital herpes) -Varicella-zoster virus (chicken pox, shingles) -Epstein-Barr (infectious mono and Burkitt’s lymphoma) Herpes Simplex virus-1 22 11/4/13 HSV-1 reactivation • HSV-1 causes fever blisters, HSV-2 genital herpes Varicella (chickenpox) and Herpes Zoster (Shingles) • HSV-3 causes chicken pox and latent activation known as shingles • Acquired by respiratory route, 2 weeks later see vesicles on skin • Vaccine established in 1995 for chickenpox 23 11/4/13 Epstein Barr • Causes infectious mononucleosis • Acquire by saliva, incubation period is 4-7 weeks • Identify by -lobed lymphocytes -heterophile antibodies -fluorescent antibody tests Chronic infections • Infectious virus present at all times • Disease may be present or absent • Examples are Hepatitis Type B and Type C viruses 24 11/4/13 Type Hepadnaviridae family: Hepatitis B • dsDNA virus, enveloped • Hepatitis B -passes through intermediate stage (RNA) for replication -three particles found in blood sample 1. Dane 2. filamentous 3. sphericle -exposure through blood/ body fluids Hepatitis Type B • Incubation period is ~12 weeks • 10% of cases become chronic, mortality rate is less than 1% • About 40% of the chronic cases die of liver cirrhosis 25 11/4/13 Flaviviridae Family: Hepatitis Type C Not the same as Hep B. Different type of virus • Hepatitis C virus – (+) ssRNA virus, enveloped – Obtain from blood/body fluids – Incubation period averages 6 weeks – Hard to screen blood for the virus – 85% of all cases become chronic (high rate) What other types of Hepatitis viruses are known to infect humans? • Hepatitis Type A – Found in the Picornaviridae family (+) ssRNA -obtain through fecal-oral route, enters GI tract and multiplies -incubation period is ~4 weeks -symptoms include: anorexia, malaise, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, fever, and chills lasting 2-21 days 26 11/4/13 Slow Infections • Infectious agent increases in amount over a long time during which there are no symptoms • Examples are HIV found in the Retroviridae family • Retroviruses use reverse transcriptase to replicate ssRNA Retroviridae-multiple strands of (-)RNA • HIV -infects Helper T cells -requires the enzyme reverse transcriptase -integrates as a provirus -is released by budding, or lyses the cell Provirus: DNA in chromosome 27 11/4/13 HIV replication Viruses associated with cancers 28 11/4/13 Viruses and tumors • dsDNA viruses are most common to cause viral-induced tumors • Cancer is result of integration of viral genes into the host chromosome • Transforming genes are called oncogenes • Examples: papillomavirus, herpesvirus Orthomyxoviridae-multiple strands of (-)RNA • Influenza virus – Consists of 8 segments of RNA – Envelope has H spikes (hemagglutinin) and N spikes (neuraminidase) – Incubation is 1-3 days – Symptoms include: chills, fever, headache, muscle aches, may lead to cold-like symptoms 29 11/4/13 Influenza virus If multiple forms infect one cell…reassortment can occur That means some of the segments mentioned in previous slide can end up in the capsid of the other virus. They mix genes. 30 11/4/13 Antigenic shift vs antigenic drift Ways to study viruses • Since viruses grow in living cells….need a live cell to culture them – Cell culture/tissue culture – Embryonated chicken eggs 31 11/4/13 Cell Culture Proteinaceous infectious particles: PRIONS • 1982 Stanley Prusiner proposed that there were infectious proteins • Caused the disease “scrapie” in sheep • Caused the “mad-cow”disease in 1987 • Human forms suggest a genetic component 32 11/4/13 Prions • Contain no nucleic acid • Abnormal protein promotes conformational change to normal protein • Results in damage to neurons… transmissible spongiform encephalopahthies Brain with spongiform encephalopathy 33 11/4/13 Infections caused by prions Mechanism of prion replication 34
