Term
Repressor protein
Definition
The protein that controls the expression of the genes used for the lytic cycle
Term
A bacteria in the state of Lysogeny is called
Definition
Lysogens
Term
Where is the Repressor gene?
Definition
on the phage genome
Term
This prevents the expression of any incoming genomes of the same bacteriophage
Definition
Repressor protein
Term
If the repressor protein is inactive, it results in:

Definition
the cro gene
Term
Induction of Lambda lytic pathway
Definition
1) Environmental triggers. 2) Bacteria produce SOS response 3) Bacterial RecA protein has protease activity which degrates the protein
Term
The Lambda prophage is excised via
Definition
the lambda encoded excisionase (xis)
Term
Mu transposable phage inserts in the: A) beginning B) middle C) end of a gene, causing ___
Definition
B; mutations
Term
Animal viruses attach to the
Definition
glycoproteins (receptor sites) found on the host's plasma membrane
Term
The viral attachment structures are found within __
Definition
capsid and/or envelope surface
Term
T/F: Viral attachment never leads to irreversible changes in the virus sturcture
Definition
False
Term
The Influenza virus attaches to the ___ of the host
Definition
glycoprotein on red blood cells and mucus membranes
Term
The Poliovirus attaches to the __ of the host
Definition
A cell surface lipoprotein (ICAM)
Term
Once a number of structures have come in contact with the host, is known as
Definition
penetration
Term
T/F: Penetration is not an energy dependent process
Definition
False
Term
Penetration occurs by __ or __
Definition
Fusion or Endocytosis
Term
Fusion is when:
Definition
an enveloped virus fuses to cell membrane and directly release the capsid into the cytoplasm
Term
Fusion is a __ dependent process A) pH B) energy C) nutrient
Definition
A
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
The virus is encircled by the plasma membrane and enters in a vesicle/phagosome
Term
In endocytosis, the virus is released into the cytoplasm: A) coated B) uncoated
Definition
B
Term
Endocytosis is used by:
Definition
non-enveloped viruses and orthomyxoviruses
Term
When lysosomal enzymes allow the capsid and/or envelope to become separated from the nucleic acid
Definition
Uncoating
Term
T/F: Viruses may encode for their own enzymes that will destroy its coat
Definition
True
Term
T/F: Uncoating allows the virus to express its genome
Definition
True
Term
Rotaviruses uncoating
Definition
The capsid only partially disintegrates and replication takes place in a structured particle
Term
Poxvirus uncoating
Definition
Releases DNA from capsid, this depends upon viral factors released after entry
Term
Orthomyxovirus, paramyxovirus, and picornavira uncoating
Definition
All lose the protective envelope or capsid upon entry into the cytoplasm
Term
