  • Virus Overview
    • Viruses are obligate intracellular infectious agents with the following basic components
      • DNA or RNA
        • never both
      • capsid
        • a protein coat that surrounds the genetic material
        • icosahedral or helical symmetry
        • made of capsomers
          • polypeptide chains organized into a globular subunit
          • in helical symmetry, capsomers are bound to RNA and coiled
            • forms a helical nucleoprotein capsid
      • sometimes an envelope
    • Viruses are classified by
      • nucleic acid
        • DNA or RNA
        • double stranded or single stranded
        • (+) or (-) stranded RNA
        • single or segmented pieces of nucleic acid
        • complexity of genome
      • capsid
        • icosahedral or helical
      • envelope
        • naked
          • DNA or RNA + capsomers and other structural proteins = nucleocapsid
        • enveloped
          • nucleocapsid + host membrane with viral-specified glycoproteins = enveloped virus
      • size
        • diameter or number of capsomers
      • ploidy
        • all viruses are haploid (1 copy of DNA or RNA)
        • except retroviruses
          • retroviruses have 2 identical copies of their ssRNA, approximating diploidy
      • infectivity of purified nucleic acid
        • purified nucleic acid that is intrinsically infectious
          • dsDNA from most viruses
            • except poxviridae
            • except HBV
          • (+) strand ssRNA from most viruses
            • (+) linear, nonsegmented ssRNA can be translated immediately into a large protein by host machinery
            • virus must carry protease to cleave the 1 large protein product that will be generated by the host machinery
        • purified nucleic acid that is NOT intrinsically infectious
          • (-) ssRNA
            • viruses must carry an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase to generate mRNA the host machinery can read
          • dsRNA
          • they require enzymes contained in the complete virion for infectivity
  • RNA Viruses
    • Most RNA viruses
      • are single-stranded (ssRNA, like human mRNA)
      • have helical symmetry
      • replicate in the cytoplasm
      • are enveloped
    • Exceptions
      • double-stranded (dsRNA)
        • reo
      • icosahedral
        • reo
        • picorna
        • toga
        • flavi
        • calici
      • replicate in nucleus
        • retro
        • orthomyxo
      • non-enveloped
        • picorna
        • calici
        • reo
        • hepe
