REPLICATION STRATEGIES THE VIRAL CYCLE

Raoul J. de Groot Division of Virology Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Utrecht University

VIRUS CLASSIFICATION central phenomenon – de novo mRNA synthesis • HOST PLANT / ANIMAL / BACTERIUM

• MORPHOLOGY NAKED OR ENVELOPED

SPHERICAL OR FILAMENTOUS VII NUCLEOCAPID: HELICAL OR ICOSAHEDRAL

DNA OR RNA SINGLE OR DOUBLE STRANDED LINEAR OR CIRCULAR SEGMENTED OR NON-SEGMENTED

• REPLICATION ‘BALTIMORE’ CLASSIFICATION STRATEGY

REPLICATION IN EUKARYOTIC CELLS A DIVERSITY OF VIRUSES a variety of replication sites ONE GENERAL REPLICATION SCHEME

• ALL VIRUSES PACKAGE THEIR GENOME INSIDE A PARTICLE THAT MEDIATES TRANSMISSION FROM HOST TO HOST

• THE VIRAL GENOME CONTAINS THE INFORMATION FOR INITIATING AND COMPLETING AN INFECTIOUS CYCLE WITHIN A HOST CELL

1 THE ENTRY the six steps…

• Attachment

• Penetration

• Uncoating

FIRST CONTACT: ADSORPTION ENTRY REQUIRES BREACHING OF THE PLASMA MEMBRANE IN ORDER TO INTRODUCE THE VIRAL GENOME IN THE CYTOPLASM

• virions equiped with metastable

• enveloped viruses: fusion proteins SARS : ACE2 MERS coronavirus: DPP4 • naked viruses: pore-forming proteins Influenza : sialic acid • membrane fusion/pore formation requires conformational changes in virion (proteins)

• triggered by the appropriate cue

CELL CORTEX HOW TO OVERCOME THE CELL CORTEX? • plasma membrane-associated cytoskeleton • gel-like mesh of actin filaments, at the perimeter of the cell • mechanical strength – cell surface movement • a barrier to virus entry

ENVELOPED VIRUSES: ROUTES OF ENTRY HERPESVIRUSES – BI-DIRECTIONAL TRAFFICKING OF ALONG UNIPOLAR AXONAL

Scale drawing of an herpesvirus , transported along a by dynein motors

ENTRY The Viral Life Cycle ATTACHMENT – PENETRATION - UNCOATING

• transport along microtubular network

• delivery of virions in endosomes and subviral particles deep in the interior of the cell, in the perinuclear region

• optimal site for virus replication

• triggering of fusion proteins to induce escape from endosome (cues: a.o. low pH, proteolytic cleaveage)

3 ….. BALTIMORE CLASSIFICATION True DNA viruses: replication via DNA intermediates

Parvoviridae Retroviridae VII

• Genome replication Picornaviridae Togaviridae

VIRAL REPLICATION….. BALTIMORE CLASSIFICATION true RNA viruses: replication via RNA intermediates

Parvoviridae • Most DNA viruses replicate in the nucleus Retroviridae Hepadnaviridae VII exception: poxviruses (cytoplasm)

Herpesviridae • Most DNA viruses possess a ds genome exception: parvovirus (linear single strand) Reoviridae Coronaviridae Picornaviridae Togaviridae Orthomyxoviridae Paramyxoviridae Rhabdoviridae

RNA VIRUSES: GENOME POLARITY

• Positive strand viruses: genome is mRNA sense: can be translated

• Negative strand viruses: genome is anti-sense: cannot be translated genome non-infectious – RdRp in virion

• Ambisense genome: contains in both orientations

4 BALTIMORE CLASSIFICATION : replication via DNA intermediates

Parvoviridae Retroviridae Hepadnaviridae VII

Herpesviridae

Reoviridae Coronaviridae Picornaviridae Togaviridae Orthomyxoviridae Paramyxoviridae Rhabdoviridae

Retroviridae

Subfamily Characteristic members Oncovirinae Oncogenic viruses Genera Oncornavirus B Leukemia virus Oncornavirus C Mouse mammary Tumor virus Mason-Pfizer Monkey virus Oncornavirus D

Lentivirinae Human Immuno deficiency virus Feline Immuno deficiency virus Visna virus

The HIV-1 capsid pore is strongly electropositive and recruits dNTPs with rapid association and dissociation kinetics

5 VIRAL GENES AND EXPRESSION

Two types of proteins: Structural and non-structural ARE REPLICATION ENZYMES NON-STRUCTURAL PER SE? structural proteins end up in the virion

non-structural proteins: replication enzymes accessory proteins

VIRAL GENES AND VIRAL GENES AND GENE EXPRESSION

Two types of proteins: Essential and non-essential Viral genes are expressed to produce either:

• Essential proteins: absolutely required • Individual proteins (1 mRNA, 1 ) for replication in tissue culture cells replication enzymes • Polyproteins virion proteins processing by viral and/or host proteinases

• Non-essential proteins: dispensible in vitro accessory proteins

The Viral Life Cycle VIRAL ASSEMBLY....

• production of virions

• naked viruses: assembly in cytoplasms release through cell lysis

7 VIRAL ASSEMBLY....

• production of virions

• enveloped viruses: budding release from intact cells

BUDDING

• stage of virus assembly during which the membrane is acquired

• wrapping of NC in a cellular membrane, modified by virus-specific envelope proteins

8 Budding Retroviruses Fission - Maturation

Viruses may differ in the location of the budding site

REPLICATION STRATEGIES THE VIRAL LIFE CYCLE

• insight into the diversity of viruses and their replication strategies

• classification of viruses

• six steps of the viral life cycle

• general impression of the processes that occur during each of these steps
