What are viruses?
*obligate intracellular parasites
*made up pf nucleic adic, protein, sometimes lipid
*does not code for ribosomes, mitochondria
*do not reproduce by division, they are assembled from pre-formed complexes
Key steps in viral life-cycles
*Attachment
*Entry
*Uncoating
*Expression of genetic information
*Replication of genetic information
*Assembly
*Maturation
*Release
Uncoating can occur...
*at the plasma membrane
*in the cytosol
*at the nuclear membrane
Expression of genetic information produces proteins for
*virus particle
*nucleic acid synthesis
*virus-host interactions
example for Class I Virus:
ds DNA Virus:
eg Herpes simplex virus type 1
example for Class II Virus:
(-)ssDNA
eg feline parovirus
example for Class III virus:
ds RNA Virus:
eg human rotavirus
example for Class IV Virus:
