DO NOW 1. Label the following as Totipotent, Multipotent, or Pluripotent A.Embryonic Stem Cells B.Bone Marrow Cells C.Umbilical Cord Stem Cells D.Zygote 2. During what embryonic phase do cells differentiate? 3. What is the role of morphogens in embryo development?
2
Viruses Chapter 19.4
3
What to Know about Viruses? 1. Characteristics 2. Structure 3. How they reproduce: ◦ The differences between lytic and lysogenic cycles. 4. How we think they evolved
4
Bacteria vs. Viruses BacteriaVirus Prokaryotic cell Most are free-living (some parasitic) Relatively large size Antibiotics used to kill bacteria Not a living cell (genes packaged in protein shell) Intracellular parasite 1/1000 size of bacteria Vaccines used to prevent viral infection Antiviral treatment
5
Root Words “ phage ” – Virus Host – what the virus infects
6
Virus Characteristics 1. Not made of cells 2. Depend on other hosts (other living things) for life functions, such as reproduction & metabolism 3. Transmit DNA to other organisms 4. Infect all life forms (prokaryotes & eukaryotes) 5. Evolve independently of other organisms 6. Cause most diseases
7
Structure of Virus 1. Nucleic acid : DNA or RNA (double or single- stranded) 2. Capsid : protein shell Some viruses also have viral envelopes that surround capsid bacteriophage
11
Simplified viral replicative cycle
12
VIRAL REPRODUCTION Virulent: active Lysogenic: inactive
13
Bacteriophage Reproduction 1. Lytic Cycle: ◦ Virulent Phage reproduction ◦ Uses host cell to make more of itself ◦ Kills host cell by lysing (rupturing) & releasing new viruses 2. Lysogenic Cycle: ◦ Lysogenic Phage reproduction ◦ Prophage (Viral DNA) is incorporated into host’s DNA and replicated along with it Temperate Phage: uses both methods of replication

15
Lytic Cycle vs. Lysogenic Cycle
16
Animal viruses have a membranous envelope Host membrane forms around exiting virus Difficult for host immune system to detect virus
17
VIRAL INFECTIONS
18
Bacteriophage Virus that infects bacterial cells
19
Retrovirus reverse transcriptase RNA virus that uses reverse transcriptase (RNA DNA) Newly made viral DNA inserted into chromosome of host provirus” Host transcribes viral DNA (“provirus”) to make new virus parts Example: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Example: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
20
HIV ◦ Infects white blood cells ◦ HIV+: provirus (DNA inserted) ◦ AIDS: active viral reproduction
21
VIDEO: HIV LIFE CYCLE HIV LIFE CYCLEHIV LIFE CYCLE
22
HIV = Retrovirus
23
Herpes virus Smallpox Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) Eradicated in 1979 due to worldwide vaccination campaigns
24
VACCINES
25
Vaccines Consists of a weakened virus or part of pathogen that triggers immune system response
26
Emerging viruses = mutation of existing viruses
27
Prions Misfolded, infectious proteins that cause misfolding of normal proteins Eg. mad cow disease (BSE),Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (humans), scrapie (sheep)
28
VIRUS EVOLUTION Where did they come from?
29
Viral Evolution Viruses evolved many times from many different cell (host) groups 1)Some are probably derived from escaped genetic materials 2)Some probably evolved from highly reduced parasites
30
EXIT QUIZ 1. What are the 2 common parts that all viruses have? 2. What is the overall outcome of a Lysogenic Cycle? 3. What is the overall outcome of a Lytic Cycle? 4. Why do people have to get a flu shot every year?
31
Viroids Small, circular RNA molecules that infect plants Cause errors in regulatory systems that control plant growth Eg. coconut palms in Philippines
32
Diseases caused by prions Prions act slowly – incubation period of at least 10 years before symptoms develop Prions are virtually indestructible (cannot be denatured by heating) No known cure for prion diseases
