Characteristics of Viruses
• Viruses
• Minuscule, acellular, infectious agents having either DNA or RNA
• Cause infections of humans, animals, plants, and bacteria
• Cause most of the diseases that plague the industrialized world
• Cannot carry out any metabolic pathway
• Neither grow nor respond to the environment
• Cannot reproduce independently
• Recruit the cell's metabolic pathways to increase their numbers
• No cytoplasmic membrane, cytosol, organelles
• Have extracellular and intracellular state

Characteristics of Viruses
• Extracellular state• Called virion• Protein coat (capsid) surrounding nucleic acid• Nucleic acid and capsid, also called nucleocapsid• Some have phospholipid envelope• Outermost layer provides protection and recognition
sites for host cells
• Intracellular state• Capsid removed• Virus exists as nucleic acid
![Page 4: Microbiology Ch 13 lecture_presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/587383ac1a28ab272d8b55ab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Characteristics of Viruses
• Hosts of Viruses• Most viruses infect only particular host's cells
• Due to affinity of viral surface proteins for complementary
proteins on host cell surface
• May be so specific they infect only a particular kind of
cell in a particular host
• Generalists – infect many kinds of cells in many different
hosts

Viral Replication
• Lysogeny• Modified replication cycle
• Infected host cells grow and reproduce normally for
generations before they lyse
• Temperate phages
• Prophages – inactive phages
• Lysogenic conversion
• Results when phages carry genes that alter phenotype of
a bacterium
![Page 28: Microbiology Ch 13 lecture_presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/587383ac1a28ab272d8b55ab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• Each type of animal virus requires different strategy,
depending on its nucleic acid
• DNA viruses often enter the nucleus
• RNA viruses often replicate in the cytoplasm
• Must consider

Viral Replication
• Replication of Animal Viruses• Assembly and release of animal viruses
• Most DNA viruses assemble in nucleus
• Most RNA viruses develop solely in cytoplasm
• Number of viruses produced depends on type of virus and
size and initial health of host cell
• Enveloped viruses are often released by budding
• Enables some viruses to cause persistent infections
• Naked viruses are released by exocytosis or lysis

Viral Replication
• Replication of Animal Viruses• Latency of animal viruses
• When animal viruses remain dormant in host cells
• Viruses are called latent viruses or proviruses
• May be prolonged for years with no viral activity
• Some latent viruses do not become incorporated into host
chromosome
• Incorporation of provirus into host DNA is permanent
![Page 46: Microbiology Ch 13 lecture_presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/587383ac1a28ab272d8b55ab/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Viral Replication
• Tell Me Why• Why are lysogenic and latent viral infections generally
longer lasting than lytic infections?
![Page 48: Microbiology Ch 13 lecture_presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/587383ac1a28ab272d8b55ab/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

The Role of Viruses in Cancer
• Cell division is under strict genetic control• Genes dictate that some cells can no longer divide at all
• Cells that can divide are prevented from unlimited division
• Genes for cell division are "turned off," or genes inhibiting division are "turned on"
• Neoplasia • Uncontrolled cell division in multicellular animal
• Mass of neoplastic cells is tumor
• Benign versus malignant tumors• Malignant tumors also called cancers
• Metastasis occurs when tumors spread
![Page 49: Microbiology Ch 13 lecture_presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/587383ac1a28ab272d8b55ab/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

• Viruses cause 20–25% of human cancers
• Some carry copies of oncogenes as part of their genomes
• Some promote oncogenes already present in host
• Some interfere with tumor repression
• Specific viruses are known to cause ~15% of human cancers
• Burkitt's lymphoma
• Hodgkin's disease
• Kaposi's sarcoma
• Cervical cancer

• Viruses cannot grow in standard microbiological
media
• Are cultured inside host cells
• Three types of media for culturing viruses
• Media consisting of mature organisms
• Embryonated eggs
• Cell cultures

Culturing Viruses in the Laboratory
• Culturing Viruses in Mature Organisms• Culturing viruses in bacteria
• Phages are grown in bacteria in liquid cultures or on agar
plates
• Lysis of bacteria produces plaques
• Allows estimation of phage numbers by plaque assay

Culturing Viruses in the Laboratory
• Culturing Viruses in Mature Organisms• Culturing viruses in plants and animals
• Numerous plants and animals have been used to culture
viruses
• Laboratory animals can be difficult and expensive to

Culturing Viruses in the Laboratory
• Culturing Viruses in Embryonated Chicken Eggs• Inexpensive
• Among the largest of cells
• Free of contaminating microbes
• Contain a nourishing yolk
• Fertilized chicken eggs are often used
• Embryonic tissues provide ideal site for growing viruses
• Some vaccines are prepared in chicken cultures

Culturing Viruses in the Laboratory
• Culturing Viruses in Cell (Tissue) Culture• Cells are isolated from an organism and grown on a
medium or in a broth
• Cell cultures sometimes inaccurately called "tissue
cultures"
• Two types of cell cultures
• Diploid cell cultures
• Continuous cell cultures

Culturing Viruses in the Laboratory
• Tell Me Why• HIV replicates only in certain types of human cells, and
one early problem in AIDS research was culturing those
cells. Why are scientists now able to culture HIV?

Are Viruses Alive?
• Some microbiologists consider them complex
pathogenic chemicals
• Others consider them to be the least complex
living entities
• Use sophisticated methods to invade cells
• Have the ability to take control of their host cell
• Are able to replicate themselves

Are Viruses Alive?
• Tell Me Why• Why are viruses seemingly alive and yet not alive?

Other Parasitic Particles: Viroids and Prions
• Characteristics of Viroids• Extremely small, circular pieces of RNA that are
infectious and pathogenic in plants
• Similar to RNA viruses but lack capsid
• May appear linear because of hydrogen bonding
• Viroidlike agents affect some fungi

Other Parasitic Particles: Viroids and Prions
• Characteristics of Prions• Proteinaceous infectious agents
• Cellular PrP
• Made by all mammals
• Normal, functional structure has α-helices
• Prion PrP
• Disease-causing form has β-sheets
• Prion PrP causes cellular PrP to refold into prion PrP

Other Parasitic Particles: Viroids and Prions
• Characteristics of Prions• Prion diseases
• Spongiform encephalopathies
• Large vacuoles form in brain
• Characteristic spongy appearance

mucous membranes with infected tissues
• Prions are destroyed by incineration or autoclaving in
concentrated sodium hydroxide
