          Virology

Morphology & Background
    Common viruses
     Viral Diseases
Background Information:)
s   virus are parasites,   s   all cells can be
    not cells                  parasitized by
s   virus are packages         virus, they only
    of genetic info -          attack closely
    nucleic acids in           related organisms
    protein coats          s   virus comes from a
s   virus only supplies        latin word “poison”
    information, rest is       or “slime”
    dependent on host
What are viruses?                 
s   virus = “poison”
s   with genetic material (DNA or RNA) and
              protein coat (capsid).
s   obligatory intracellular parasites.
s   infect the cells of a biological organisms.
s   they replicate by using the host cell’s
    metabolic“machinery”.
Definition of Terms: 
s Capsid- protein shell, or coat, that
  encloses the nucleic acid genome
s Capsomere – Morphologic units of virus
  seen under the EM on the surface of
  icosahedral virus particles
    • Represents clusters of polypeptide
s   Defective virus – virus particle that is
    functionally deficient in some aspect of
    replication
More terms: 
s   Envelope – lipid containing membrane
    that surrounds some virus particles
    • Acquired during viral maturation by a
      budding process thru a cellular membrane
s Nucleocapsid – protein nucleic acid
  complex representing the packaged
  form of the viral genome
s Subunit – single folded viral polypeptide
  chain
s   Structural units – Basic protein building
    blocks of the coat.
    • Usually a collection of more than one
      nonidentical protein unit.
    • The structural unit is often referred to a
      protomer.
s   Virion – Complete virus particle. In
    some instances, the virion is identical to
    the nucleocapsid. In more complex
    virions, this includes the nucleocapsid
    plus a surrounding envelope.
Background Information: 
s   Dmitri Iwanowski -     s   Are viruses alive??
    1892 first isolation        they contain
    of TMV                     macromolecules
s   Martinus Beijerinck        but does not
    - filterable viruses       reproduce directly
s   Wendell Stanley -          --- virions are
                               intact, non-
    1935 purified &
                               replicating virus

Types of Structure

s   Four morphological types:
    •   1. Helical Viruses
    •   2. Icosahedral viruses
    •   3. Enveloped viruses
    •   4. Complex viruses
Helical virus




 -Resemble long rods, may be rigid or flexible
 -Viral nucleic acid found within a hollow cylindrical capsid.
 -with single type of protomers stacked around a central
 axis to form a tube; eg. Tobacco mosaic virus.
Icosahedral
spherical appearance
but capsomeres
arranged in a
geometrical pattern like
a soccer ball;
eg.hepatitis B
Enveloped




 with outer lipid layer = viral envelope
Complex

 -- with extra
 structure such as
 protein tails,
 complex outer
 walls; eg.
 Bacteriophages,
 Poxviruses.
Life Cycle:
s outside the host there is no replication
s Stages :
    •   -->Adsorption
    •   --> Penetration
    •   --> Uncoating
    •   --> Viral synthesis
    •   --> Maturation
    •   --> Release
Multiplication of Viruses

s   Lytic cycle – ends with the lysis and
    death of the host cell.

s   Lysogenic cycle- host cell remains alive

being pathogens?

Continuation……..
s   Material Science and Nanotechnology- In April 2006,
    MIT scientists created nanoscale metallic wires using
    a genetically-modified virus. The MIT team was able
    to use the virus to create a working battery with an
    energy density up to three times more than current
    materials. The potential exists for this technology to
    be used in liquid crystals, solar cells, fuel cells, and
    other electronics in the future.
s   Biological warfare- synthesis/recreation of viruses in
    laboratory (eg. 1918 flu virus, smallpox virus- Variola
    major)
