- Sense RNA genomes

• Unimolar• Segmented

Page 3: Negative strand RNA synthesis

What does segmented mean?

• Genome in segments often representing different genes.

• Segmented genomes confer evolutionary advantages.

• Different strains of a virus with a segmented genome can shuffle and combine genes and produce progeny viruses or (offspring) that have unique characteristics.

• This is called reassortment

• Capping and polyadenylation mechanism of viral RNA different to host mRNA and is carried out by host encoded enzymes.

• Nucleocapsids are transported into the nucleus. • mRNA synthesis and replication of viral RNA occurs in the

nucleus. • This is very unusual for an RNA virus. Influenza virus has an

unusual mechanism for acquiring a methylated, capped 5'end to its mRNAs.

• A viral endonuclease (which is packaged in the influenza virus) snips off the 5'end of a host capped, methylated mRNA about 13-15 bases from the 5' end and uses this as a primer for viral mRNA synthesis.

• Hence all flu mRNAs have a short stretch at the 5' end which is derived from host mRNA.

Negative Strand Viruses

• Contain enzymes for transcription in virion• Make mRNA prior to antigenome

– Message gets capped; genome does not• Plus strand is template for minus strand

genome• Makes more minus than plus strand
