Virions

Ara-A-5 -monophosphate [29984-33-6] (ara-AMP), C2QH24N OyP, is more water-soluble than ara-A, and therefore can be used in higher dosage during the first hours of treatment of viral infections. Ara-AMP has been shown to decrease virion-associated DNA polymerase concentrations in ground squirrels carrying ground squirrel hepatitis vims. The hypoxanthine derivative, ara-HxMP [54656-49-4] (24) is more water-soluble, appears to have a similar antiviral spectmm to ara-A, and is considerably less toxic (48). [Pg.307]

Reverse transcriptase (from avian or murine RNA tumour viruses) [9068-38-6] [EC 2.7.7.49]. Purified by solubilising the virus with non-ionic detergent. Lysed virions were adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose or DEAE-Sephadex columns and the enzyme eluted with a salt gradient, then chromatographed on a phosphocellulose column and enzyme activity eluted in a salt gradient. Purified from other viral proteins by affinity chromatography on a pyran-Sepharose column.

The role of the viral neuraminidase, conversely, seems to be to facilitate the release of progeny virions from infected cells by cleaving sialic acid... [Pg.70]

The shell of all picomaviruses is built up from 60 copies each of four polypeptide chains, called VPl to VP4. These are translated from the viral RNA into a single polypeptide, which is posttranslationally processed by stepwise proteolysis involving viraily encoded enzymes. First, the polypeptide chain is cleaved into three proteins VPO (which is the precursor for VP2 and VP4), VPl and VP3. These proteins begin the assembly process. The last step of the processing cascade occurs during completion of the virion assembly the precursor protein VPO is cleaved into VP2 and VP4 by a mechanism that is probably autocatalytic but may also involve the viral RNA. VPl, VP2, and VP3 have molecular masses of around 30,000 daltons, whereas VP4 is small, being 7000 daltons, and is completely buried inside the virion. [Pg.334]

The asymmetric unit contains one copy each of the subunits VPl, VP2, VP3, and VP4. VP4 is buried inside the shell and does not reach the surface. The arrangement of VPl, VP2, and VP3 on the surface of the capsid is shown in Figure 16.12a. These three different polypeptide chains build up the virus shell in a way that is analogous to that of the three different conformations A, C, and B of the same polypeptide chain in tomato bushy stunt virus. The viral coat assembles from 12 compact aggregates, or pen tamers, which contain five of each of the coat proteins. The contours of the outward-facing surfaces of the subunits give to each pentamer the shape of a molecular mountain the VPl subunits, which correspond to the A subunits in T = 3 plant viruses, cluster at the peak of the mountain VP2 and VP3 alternate around the foot and VP4 provides the foundation. The amino termini of the five VP3 subunits of the pentamer intertwine around the fivefold axis in the interior of the virion to form a p stmcture that stabilizes the pentamer and in addition interacts with VP4. [Pg.334]

In cell culture, it has been shown that one virion can produce infection. In the human host, because of acquired resistance and a variety of other factors, the one virion/one infection possibility does not exist. [Pg.446]

Cross-packaging is the packaging of viral genomes into the virion shell of other viruses. [Pg.397]

The development of AAV-based gene-therapy vectors is presently focused on the analysis of the properties of the different AAV serotypes, especially the host range of the virion shells of the different serotypes. By packaging... [Pg.531]

Fig. 1 Antiviral genes inhibit virus replication at different stages of the viral life cycle. Early inhibitors prevent the establishment of the viral genome in the target cell (class I, e.g., entry inhibitors, RT inhibitors for HIV). Intermediate inhibitors prevent viral gene expression or amplification of the viral genome (class II, e.g., siRNAs, antisense RNAs). Late inhibitors prevent virion assembly or release, or inactivate the mature virions (class III, e.g., transdominant core proteins, capsid-targeted virion inactivation, CTVI). A list of antiviral genes in each class is found in Table 1... Fig. 1 Antiviral genes inhibit virus replication at different stages of the viral life cycle.
