Chapter 13Viruses, Viroids, and Prions
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Differentiate between a virus and a bacterium.
Viruses may be regarded as exceptionally complex aggregations of nonliving chemicals OR exceptionally simple living microbes.
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Viruses• Viruses contain DNA or RNA• And a protein coat• Some are enclosed by an envelope (lipids,
proteins, and carbohydrates)• Some viruses have spikes• Most viruses infect only specific types of cells
in one host• Host range is determined by specific host
attachment sites and cellular factors• Obligatory intracellular parasites, causing
synthesis of specialized elements that transfer viral nucleic acid to other cells.

Viral Taxonomy
• Classification based on type of nucleic acid, replication, and morphology.
• Family names end in -viridae• Genus names end in -virus• Viral species: A group of viruses sharing the same
genetic information and ecological niche (host). Common names are used for species
• Subspecies are designated by a number
Define viral species.

Growing Viruses
• Viruses must be grown in living cells.• Bacteriophages
form plaques (clearings) on a lawn of bacteria.
• Easiest to grow

• Attachment Phage attaches by tail fibers to host cell
• Penetration Phage lysozyme opens cell wall, tail sheath contracts to force tail core and DNA into cell
• Biosynthesis Production of phage DNA and proteins
• Maturation Assembly of phage particles• Release Phage lysozyme breaks cell wall

Retrovirus penetrates host cell.
Virion penetrates cell and its DNA is uncoated
The new viral DNA is transported into the host cell’s nucleus and integrated as a provirus. The provirus may divide indefinitely with the host cell DNA.

Transcription of the provirus may also occur, producing RNA for new retrovirus genomes and RNA that codes for the retrovirus capsid and envelope proteins.

• Activated oncogenes transform normal cells into cancerous cells. (malignant transformation)
• Transformed cells have increased growth, loss of contact inhibition, tumor specific transplant and T antigens, chromosome abnormalities, can produce tumors when injected into susceptible animals.
• Several DNA viruses and retroviruses are oncogenic.• The genetic material of oncogenic viruses becomes
integrated into the host cell's DNA.
