Factors Influencing Eukaryotic Transcription Came From Studies Using Viruses

Think of a virus. You cannot see it; however, viruses are everywhere. They live inside of humans and have to have humans to survive. Viruses spread because they come in contact with other cells of other human beings. Viruses are not easily treated. There are vaccines that help to prevent viruses, but they are not perfect. They have antiviral drugs that help to stop the virus from reproducing, but then it is up to the immune system to remove the virus. There is only one true way to remove all viruses from the world and that is by removing all living things.

In “Study Adds to Evidence that Viruses are Alive,” Professor Caetano-Anolles and his members argues that viruses are considered to be alive due to the founding of new evidences that support about it. They did a research and experiment to prove their claim. Others say that viruses are not “alive” because they lack many of the properties that scientists associate with living organisms. That they don’t have their own machinery for reproducing and they can only take over the machinery of cells, turning them into virus factories. Caetano-Anolles argues that viruses are alive, they used logos to support and give evidences to their claims. They argued that viruses are alive through their shapes and sizes, genetic structure and the means of their reproducing.

Ugh, this pesky human bounces around to much. I just wish she would eat or drink something already, I'm starving and my mouth is dry. I guess my host has not noticed me yet, or she wouldn't be at gymnastics. Soon enough I will be making her feel tired, gassy, nauseous, in pain, and even have a rash. Yesterday a virus came in and tried to infect my host, but I told the immune system that someone stuck in now the virus is gone and the host is healthy (which is great for me considering the host expenses in my benefit). I am much like roundworm and tapeworm but not as severe. I was transmitting to my host Emily by her dog, he was eating raw meat. I was not getting enough food from her dog. Uh oh, we at the doctors and they just prescribed her

In the article, Carl Zimmer makes some really good points. Most people don’t think about fighting viruses with DNA. I surely wouldn’t. Zimmer’s explanation of it was “[It is] microscopic protein shell holding a few genes that hijack a cell’s internal machinery, forcing it to make new viruses.” Zimmer refers to the viruses in our bodies as aliens, which I think is really neat. “We use DNA from viruses to do things that are essential to our own survival, scientist are finding.” DNA from viruses are used to make vaccines and help the human race as a whole. Also, our immune system is created by having parts of that DNA from the virus in our system. According to the article, a lot of these viruses get passed down from generation to generation and

On the eighth of June at dog shelter in Midland, Texas three dogs started to have foam coming out of their ears while their eyes turned a glowing neon green with a slimy gel coming out of their mouths. The manager of the shelter tried to quarantine the dogs, but it was too late. The virus was already spread throughout the whole facility. The contamination is now known as the Medusa Virus because once a person looks into the eyes of a contaminated person or animal they will then contract the disease. People can also be contaminated if they are bitten or scratched by a person with the disease. Fortunately my family and I escaped but others were not as lucky as we were. When I came across this disease I decide to survive this apocalypse I would need beef jerky, a water purifier and machete.

Then the pre-initiation complex is form at the TATA box. Then uses cellular DNA-dependent RNA polymerase mediated transcription at the viral promoter site. During transcription mRNAs are capped and poly-adenylation by host enzymes. Then mRNAs are transported to the cytoplasm for translation into early proteins and migrate back to the nucleus, which mediates viral DNA replication4.

For the Nipah Virus, fruit bats of the Pteropus genus have been identified as the natural reservoir. The virus has been isolated in many bodily locations, such as the brain and spinal fluid, and from environmental prototypes, like bat urine and partially eaten fruit, such as found in cases of Malaysia. Antibodies of the Nipah virus have been found in the sera of fruit bats, which have been collected in India, Indonesia, and many others such as Madagascar and Ghana. The presence of these antibodies indicate that goats, horses, and some cats and dogs have been reported as infected, with a history of exposure to infected pigs in Malaysia. This wide range of locations where NiV has been discovered represents its wide geographic distribution. While

Practitioners generally administer antiviral drugs that fight off infection either by preventing the virus’s capability to replicate or by reinforcing the body’s immune response to better aid in combating the infection. There are a number of various classes of drugs in the antiviral family, and each is utilized for a particular kind of viral infections. Antiviral drugs are now accessible to treat a number of viruses, consisting of influenza, HIV, Herpes, and Hepatitis B and C. Despite mechanisms that are used to combat viruses, they go through metamorphoses over time and build up a resistance against antiviral

Synonymous codon selection in eukaryotes is much more complex compared to prokaryotes. In our analysis, we applied FPKM (fragments per kilobase of transcripts per million mapped reads) and analyzed the relative expression of genes. Genes with extremely low expression (FPKM˂1.0) were discarded from the data to stop bias. FPKM considered as more beneficial than CAI to exactly estimate the gene expression in eukaryotes, Although, CAI has been extensively used in numerous foregoing studies. The main disadvantage of CAI is its codon distribution is only restricted to 24 highly expressed genes[39-41]. In the current study, examines synonymous codon usage in coding sequences from W. pigra transcriptome to recognized its molecular development and influenced of numerous other

Viral invasiveness is reported to be promoted by the ability of C1 to suppress PTGS (Cui et al., 2005). It has been shown that C4 gene of Cotton leaf curl Multan virus and βC1gene of Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite bind short RNAs, with a preference for the double stranded and single stranded forms, respectively, suggesting that these suppressors sequester siRNAs and prevent their incorporation into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) involved in sequence specific mRNA degradation (Hammond et al., 2000).

Adenoviruses (Advs) were isolated by Rowe and colleagues for the first time in 1953, while studying the polioviruses growth in adenoidal tissue. They identified an infectious agent which was capable of producing cytopathic effect in tissues in the absence of poliovirus. Adenoviruses were named after adenoid, the lymphoid tissue from which they were first isolated (Hilleman and Werner, 1954; Rowe, et al., 1955).

An invisible organism enters your body. It penetrates into your tissues and then takes over the machinery in your own cells to make more copies of itself. This tiny infiltrator works silently, producing thousands of these clones that fill up the cell and cause it to explode. The clones mercilessly continue the process of invading, taking over and destroying cells. The result might be a minor inconvenience to you as the host, or it could result in a slow or rapid death. It depends only on which variant of this unwanted infiltrator overcomes your body’s defenses. There are cures to wipe out some types of these invisible intruders, but others are so difficult to eradicate or so readily adaptable, that the world’s greatest scientists

During the development of multicellular organisms, the fate of a cell is often determined by the influence of neighboring cells or tissues. The molecular mechanisms by which such inductive signals cause changes in the genetic program of the responding cell remain largely unknown. In the early stages of the response, signals from the cell surface must lead to modifications in the activity of one or more pre-existing transcription factors, which then set in motion the appropriate cascade of gene activation. Post-translational activation of transcription factors has been demonstrated in a number of cases, including steroid hormone receptors (Glineur et al. 1990), the yeast heat shock response factor (Sorger and Pelham 1988), and the mammalian factor AP-1 (Angel et al. 1987; Lee et al. 1987). The activation of transcription factors in response to inductive signals during development has proved more difficult to demonstrate, largely because the critical transcription factors have not been identified. Cell identities in the developing eye of Drosophila are determined by induction, and mutations in several genes that encode putative transcription factors have been shown to disrupt normal eye development (Tomlinson 1988; Banerjee and Zipursky 1990). Here, it is shown that one of these genes, glass, encodes a site-specific DNA-binding protein and that glass function, in its broadest sense, is regulated at the protein level. The glass gene is required for the normal development of

The central dogma of molecular biology is widely known as the transcription of DNA to RNA, and then the translation of RNA to protein. In these past few experiments, the students looked at mRNA, treated them with PMA and DMSO. The students then performed reverse transcriptase on their mRNAs in order to convert them into cDNA, which is more stable. After that, the students then performed PCR on their cDNA to zero in on the gene of choice. Those genes were then run through gel electrophoresis. The reasons behind these particular processes were to try to isolate the genes MMP-9 and beta-actin in both the DMSO and PMA groups.

Virions are non-enveloped, hexagonal in outline, approximately 60 nm in diameter, with a single shell having icosahedral symmetry. Genome consists of two molecules of linear double-stranded RNA, designated A and B, approximately 6 kb p in overall size. Four structural proteins, and one or more non-structural proteins {RNApolymerase (transcriptase)}. Survives at 60 OC for 60 minutes; stable at PH 3 to PH 9. Member viruses occur in chickens (infectious bursal disease virus), fish (infectious pancreatic necrosis virus); picobirnaviruses have been detected in feces of humans and several species of animals, sometimes in association with diarrhea. Birnaviruses replicate in the cytoplasm without greatly depressing cellular RNA or protein synthesis. The viral mRNA is transcribed by avirion-associated RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (transcriptase-VP1) (James Maclachlan and Dubovi., 2011).
