Biol364 Cell Physiology


Viruses
• Rely on host cells for their replication
• infect all organisms (but are host-
specific).
• have small genomes (ds DNA or ss RNA)
that encode proteins to replicate the
genome, package it and deliver it to the
host, and/or to enhance replication of
virus.
• Many cause disease- are pathogenic
• Virulence varies.

• polyproteins synthesized upon infection in host cell to carry out
intracellular steps of the infection.
• cleaved by proteases to produce non-structural proteins (nsp’s)
• viral replicase and transcriptase complex.
• generate vesicles from the rough ER where the replication and
transcription can evade detection by innate PAMP receptors of the
innate immune system and elicit interferon secretion.
