- 2. Overview: A Borrowed Life • Viruses called bacteriophages can infect and set in motion a genetic takeover of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli • Viruses lead “a kind of borrowed life” between life- forms and chemicals • The origins of molecular biology lie in early studies of viruses that infect bacteria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 4. Concept 19.1: A virus consists of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat • Viruses were detected indirectly long before they were actually seen © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 5. The Discovery of Viruses: Scientific Inquiry • Tobacco mosaic disease stunts growth of tobacco plants and gives their leaves a mosaic coloration • In the late 1800s, researchers hypothesized that a particle smaller than bacteria caused the disease • In 1935, Wendell Stanley confirmed this hypothesis by crystallizing the infectious particle, now known as tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 7. Structure of Viruses • Viruses are not cells • A virus is a very small infectious particle consisting of nucleic acid enclosed in a protein coat and, in some cases, a membranous envelope © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 8. Viral Genomes • Viral genomes may consist of either – Double- or single-stranded DNA, or – Double- or single-stranded RNA • Depending on its type of nucleic acid, a virus is called a DNA virus or an RNA virus © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 9. Capsids and Envelopes • A capsid is the protein shell that encloses the viral genome • Capsids are built from protein subunits called capsomeres • A capsid can have various structures © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 11. • Some viruses have membranous envelopes that help them infect hosts • These viral envelopes surround the capsids of influenza viruses and many other viruses found in animals • Viral envelopes, which are derived from the host cell’s membrane, contain a combination of viral and host cell molecules © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 12. • Bacteriophages, also called phages, are viruses that infect bacteria • They have the most complex capsids found among viruses • Phages have an elongated capsid head that encloses their DNA • A protein tail piece attaches the phage to the host and injects the phage DNA inside © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 13. Concept 19.2: Viruses replicate only in host cells • Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, which means they can replicate only within a host cell • Each virus has a host range, a limited number of host cells that it can infect © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 14. General Features of Viral Replicative Cycles • Once a viral genome has entered a cell, the cell begins to manufacture viral proteins • The virus makes use of host enzymes, ribosomes, tRNAs, amino acids, ATP, and other molecules • Viral nucleic acid molecules and capsomeres spontaneously self-assemble into new viruses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 17. Replicative Cycles of Phages • Phages are the best understood of all viruses • Phages have two reproductive mechanisms: the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 18. The Lytic Cycle • The lytic cycle is a phage replicative cycle that culminates in the death of the host cell • The lytic cycle produces new phages and lyses (breaks open) the host’s cell wall, releasing the progeny viruses • A phage that reproduces only by the lytic cycle is called a virulent phage • Bacteria have defenses against phages, including restriction enzymes that recognize and cut up certain phage DNA © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 21. The Lysogenic Cycle • The lysogenic cycle replicates the phage genome without destroying the host • The viral DNA molecule is incorporated into the host cell’s chromosome • This integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage • Every time the host divides, it copies the phage DNA and passes the copies to daughter cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Bacterial chromosome Lytic cycle lytic cycle is induced or Phage DNA circularizes. Certain factors determine whether lysogenic cycle is entered Lysogenic cycle Prophage Daughter cell with prophage Occasionally, a prophage exits the bacterial chromosome, initiating a lytic cycle. Cell divisions produce a population of bacteria infected with the prophage. The bacterium reproduces, copying the prophage and transmitting it to daughter cells. Phage DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome, becoming a prophage.
- 25. Replicative Cycles of Animal Viruses • There are two key variables used to classify viruses that infect animals – DNA or RNA? – Single-stranded or double-stranded? © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 29. Viral Envelopes • Many viruses that infect animals have a membranous envelope • Viral glycoproteins on the envelope bind to specific receptor molecules on the surface of a host cell • Some viral envelopes are formed from the host cell’s plasma membrane as the viral capsids exit © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 30. • Other viral membranes form from the host’s nuclear envelope and are then replaced by an envelope made from Golgi apparatus membrane © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 38. Evolution of Viruses • Viruses do not fit our definition of living organisms • Since viruses can replicate only within cells, they probably evolved as bits of cellular nucleic acid • Candidates for the source of viral genomes are plasmids, circular DNA in bacteria and yeasts, and transposons, small mobile DNA segments • Plasmids, transposons, and viruses are all mobile genetic elements © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 39. • Mimivirus, a double-stranded DNA virus, the largest virus yet discovered, is the size of a small bacterium • There is controversy about whether this virus evolved before or after cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 40. Concept 19.3: Viruses, viroids, and prions are formidable pathogens in animals and plants • Diseases caused by viral infections affect humans, agricultural crops, and livestock worldwide • Smaller, less complex entities called viroids and prions also cause disease in plants and animals, respectively © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 41. Viral Diseases in Animals • Viruses may damage or kill cells by causing the release of hydrolytic enzymes from lysosomes • Some viruses cause infected cells to produce toxins that lead to disease symptoms • Others have molecular components such as envelope proteins that are toxic © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 42. • Vaccines are harmless derivatives of pathogenic microbes that stimulate the immune system to mount defenses against the harmful pathogen • Vaccines can prevent certain viral illnesses • Viral infections cannot be treated by antibiotics • Antiviral drugs can help to treat, though not cure, viral infections © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 43. Emerging Viruses • Emerging viruses are those that suddenly become apparent • Recently, a general outbreak (epidemic) of a flu- like illness appeared in Mexico and the United States, caused by an influenza virus named H1N1 • Flu epidemics are caused by new strains of influenza virus to which people have little immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 44. • Viral diseases in a small isolated population can emerge and become global • New viral diseases can emerge when viruses spread from animals to humans • Viral strains that jump species can exchange genetic information with other viruses to which humans have no immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 45. • These strains can cause pandemics, global epidemics • The 2009 flu pandemic was likely passed to humans from pigs; for this reason it was originally called the “swine flu” © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 47. Viral Diseases in Plants • More than 2,000 types of viral diseases of plants are known and cause spots on leaves and fruits, stunted growth, and damaged flowers or roots • Most plant viruses have an RNA genome © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 48. Figure 19.10
- 49. • Plant viruses spread disease in two major modes – Horizontal transmission, entering through damaged cell walls – Vertical transmission, inheriting the virus from a parent © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 50. Viroids and Prions: The Simplest Infectious Agents • Viroids are small circular RNA molecules that infect plants and disrupt their growth • Prions are slow-acting, virtually indestructible infectious proteins that cause brain diseases in mammals • Prions propagate by converting normal proteins into the prion version • Scrapie in sheep, mad cow disease, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans are all caused by prions © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
