Summary Introduction
To determine: The enzymes that are essential for certain types of viruses for the replication but not found in normal cells.
Introduction: Viruses are microscopic organisms that can replicate only inside a host. They cannot remain outside a host cell. The virus uses replication machinery from the host to produce its progeny.

Viruses are host-specific, meaning they can only infect specific types of host organisms. For examble, the adenovirus is responsible for the common cold in humans but your dog can't
catch a cold from you. Why is this?
The proteins on the virus surface can only bind with proteins on the correct host surface.
It is an enveloped or non-enveloped virus.
The enzymes carried by the virus are compatible with the host.
The genome of the virus is made of DNA or RNA.
Q: It has been found that some compounds, such as fungal toxins and some antibiotics, can inhibit the activity of RNA polymerase. What process is disturbed in the cell in the case of inhibition of this enzyme?
a) replication
b) transcription
c) translation
d) processing
e) reparation
You are studying a new retrovirus. The viral protein (X) appears to play a role in the export of the viral genomes to the
cytoplasm. Protein X brings viral DNA to the cytoplasm and returns back to the nucleus after genome export is complete.
Researchers have developed a new drug for the virus. Following treatment with the new drug, the viral protein stays in the
nucleus and cannot export the viral genomes. What is the most plausible and logical function of the drug? Use your
knowledge of nuclear transport to answer this question.
O A. The drug inhibits the binding of the viral protein and the viral genomes to the import receptor.
B. The drug inhibits the binding of Ran-GTP to the nuclear export receptor in nucleus.
C. The drug promotes the Ran GAP activity.
D. The drug blocks the NLS on the viral protein.

- ‘’Viruses cannot be grown in standard microbiological culture such as broth and agar. They need to be cultured in the presence of a suitable host such as prokaryotic cells (easiest to grow in the lab), plants and animals because they are unable to reproduce independently in living cells’’.2.2 What are the changes that are brought by a virus to a cell? In your response, make reference to the cytopathic effect (CPE).arrow_forwardBriefly describe how the Nucleocapsid protein of rabies virus promotes the switch from transcription to viral genomic replication.arrow_forwardExplain why it is NOT possible to treat diseases caused by prions with the same drugs that inhibit nucleic acid replication?arrow_forward
- If a viral host cell has a mutation that interferes with the addition of carbohydrates to proteins (glycoproteins) during processing in the Golgi apparatus, which of the following processes is most likely to occur? O A. Viruses released by that host cell would have a decreased ability to infect cells than the virus that originally infected the cell. B. The virus-encoded protease would be unable to cleave large viral proteins into smaller, functional polypeptides. OC. The virus would be unable to replicate within the host cell. D. Viruses released by that cell are novel and would result in infections with higher mortality rates.arrow_forwardViruses are made up of the same biomolecules as cellular organisms (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, etc.). They infect cells and replicate themselves using resources from the host cells. Scientists discovered a previously unknown strain of virus in the tropical Pacific Ocean and it can infect higher-order eukaryotes. Initial analysis revealed that the virus is mainly composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Chemical analysis after complete hydrolysis revealed the following building blocks (by weight): Chemical components Nucleosides Amino acids Lipids, phosphates, and carbohydrates Percentage by weight 20 30 50 Analysis of percentages of nucleosides yielded the following results (by molar ratio): Nucleosides A G T C U Percentage by mole 19 29 19 29 4 Researchers determined that the lipids found in the virus form a bilayer membrane surrounding the virus, and are obtained from the membrane of the host cell during virus maturation and exit from host cell.

- Viruses are made up of the same biomolecules as cellular organisms (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, etc.), which are synthesized through enzymatic dehydration reactions from building blocks and disassembled by enzymatic hydrolysis.

When you examine the proteins in the virus, you find that it does NOT contain replicase enzymes within its capsid. Which of the following is true? This virus must have a gene that encodes replicase. This virus will not be able to enter a host cell. Its genome cannot be translated (the process of translation) by the host cell ribosomes. A DNA copy of the viral genome has to be made before viral genes are expressed. This virus must lack surface antigens.arrow_forward
