BIMM 120 CH 6

How do viruses evolve?

coevolve with host
three components of T4 bacteriophage

head, helical neck, tail fibers
what infects E. coli?

bacteriophage lambda
T/F - viruses have their own separate position on the tree of life

false; viruses are non-living
what mediates host recognition and attachment?

cell-surface receptors
what is the empty phage capsid left outside the cell called?

ghost
bacterial virus growth curve

one-step growth curve
three stages of one-step growth curve
- eclipse period
- rise period
- lytic stage
In a virus, what is nucleic acid contained?

protein capsid
T/F - viral capsid cannot self-assemble

False
glycoprotein spikes

encoded by the virus and allow it to recognize and infect host cells
filamentous virus as ____ symmetry

helical
Five requirements for host infection
- host recognition and attachment
- genome entry
- genome expression and replication
- assembly of virions
- exit and transmission
lytic vs. lysogenic
- lytic kills host
- lysogenic: integrates into the cell's chromosome
lysogenic conversion

prophage genes can be expressed and change host phenotype
bacterial defense against bacteriophage (3)
- genetic resistance: alter receptor proteins
- restriction endonuclease
- CRISPR-CAS9
