A cell is infected with an HIV mutant that results in very little virus being released into the medium that is used to grow the cultured cells Upon electron microscopy it is noted that the membrane of the infected cell is idenitcal in appearance to a cell that has not been infected. In addition there is relatively little viral RNA in the cells and relatively few proviruses in the cellular genome when compared to a non-mutant HIV infection. Which of the following proteins is most likely mutated? Multiple Choice gag reverse transcriptase vif vpu

The dUTPase enzyme is used by the African swine fever virus to repair its own DNA, as the cells the virus infects in swine do not express the dUTPase protein. Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for the role of the dUTPase in the virus lifecycle? Explain your choice in 25 words or less. The dUTPase is necessary to remove dUTP from the viral genome, as uracil should not be present in DNA The dUTPase is necessary to remove dUTP from the viral genome, as uridine cannot correctly base pair with adenine-containing bases The dUTPase is necessary to remove dUTP from the viral genome, as uridine has the wrong sugar component for building DNA More than one of the above answers is correct None of the above answers is correct
Several vaccines against viral infections are made by isolating purified surface proteins of the viral particle, mixing them with an adjuvant to stimulate an innate immune response, and injecting the mixture into people. Two examples of this are the vaccine against Hepatitis B virus, and the vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus (the ‘cervical cancer’ vaccine). One interesting property of vaccines of this type (known as ‘subunit vaccines’) is that there is a requirement for a CD4 T cell response to the vaccine antigen in order to generate antibodies to the innocuous protein in the vaccine. In the case of the Hepatitis B vaccine, the viral protein included in the vaccine is the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HepB-SAg), a protein that is approximately 200 amino acids in length. The graph in Figure Q4.27 shows the data from immunizing individuals with this vaccine, and monitoring their production of protective antibody responses to the viral protein. a) What results would be predicted if…
The surface proteins on the lipid envelope of the hepatitis B virus specifically bind to receptor proteins on the surface of human liver cells. This viral‑host protein interaction allows the hepatitis B virus to infect human liver cells. A hepatitis B virus strain has been genetically modified so that the lipid envelope contains gp120 in addition to the regular surface proteins. What will the hepatitis B virus be able to infect? Select all that apply. human T cells human liver cells HIV bacterial cells
Researchers studying the SARS-CoV-2 virus, also known as COVID-19, have found that the virus is able to circumvent its host cell's normal defenses by leaving the cell via its lyso- somes rather than its normal secretory vesicles, as illustrated in the figure below. endoplasmic reticulum nucleus disrupted lysosomal functions Entry and egress of the SARS-CoV-2 virus A Golgi complex Which of the following best explains their findings? B lysosome (deacidified) С lysosome (acidified) B-coronavirus normal biosynthetic pathway egress via lysosomal trafficking SARS-CoV-2 inhibits lysosomes of its host cells by decreasing the pH within them. SARS-CoV-2 activates lysosomes of its host cells by decreasing the pH within them. SARS-CoV-2 activates lysosomes of its host cells by increasing the pH within them. D SARS-CoV-2 inhibits lysosomes of its host cells by increasing the pH within them.

The early steps of rabiesvirus (CVS) infection in vitro were studied in chicken embryo cells (CER) cells. The infection was monitored by looking for specific viral inclusions using anti- rabies fluorescein isothiocynanate at 24 hours after addition of virus. Cells were incubated for various lengths of time after virus attachment with ammonium chloride and chloroquine. The results are show in Figure 2. 100 75 s0 I 3 5 7 Time (h) 24 (m) 20 mM NH,CI (0) 0.1 mM chloroquine Figure 2 What is the effect of treatment of CER cells with chloroquine? Explain.

A cell infected with lambda bacteriophage can follow one of two pathways: the lytic or lysogenic pathway. Describe the similarities and differences between the structure of cI and Cro, paying particular attention to the features that allow them to carry out their different functions.
Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for COVID-19 use mRNA to the Spike protein combined with lipids. Which of the following is/are advantages of this type of vaccine compared to an inactivated virus vaccine? Select ALL correct answers. a) The vaccine is more stable for transport. b) The vaccine does not contain the virus so it cannot give you COVID-19. c) The vaccine can be rapidly produced in a slightly different form to protect from variants of SARS-CoV-2. d) The vaccine does not need a booster.
One of the key biological characteristics of SARS-COV-2, as well as several other viruses, is the presence of spike proteins that allow these viruses to penetrate host cells and cause infection. With your knowledge about proteins, which best explain how denaturating agents such as alcohol, and detergents become effective in battling against SARS-CoV 2? O Denaturating agents were able to destroy the spike protein by detaching it to the virus, losing its ability to infect host. Denaturating agents were able to kill the viruses such as SARS-COV-2, therefore, they will no longer able to infect the host Denaturating agents were able to hydrolyze the spike protein to produce free amino acids, therefore, the function of the protein is now lost. Denaturating agents were able to disrupt the native structure of the spike protein, losing its ability to infect host.
Charged spherical viruses have polymer chains attached to their surfaces, e.g. they are ‘PEGelated’ in the language of a synthetic chemist. At what distance of separation does the entropic force due to the chains become significant compared with that due to the inter-virus electrostatic repulsion?
