Release of many viral particles Viral particle (virion) Host cell Viruses - General Information Two general groups: • Those that infect eukaryotic cells • Those that infect prokaryotic cells • Referred to as bacteriophage, or phage • Used as a model to understand animal viruses • Mechanism of DNA transfer • Used to destroy bacteria Nucleic acid inside a protein coat
FDA Consumer magazine January-February 2007 Bacteria-Eating Virus Approved as Food Additive By Linda Bren Not all viruses harm people. The Food and Drug Administration has approved a mixture of viruses as a food additive to protect people. The additive can be used in processing plants for spraying onto ready-to-eat meat and poultry products to protect consumers from the potentially life-threatening bacterium Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). The viruses used in the additive are known as bacteriophages. Bacteriophage means "bacteria eater." A bacteriophage, also called a phage (pronounced fayj), is any virus that infects bacteria.
Viruses - General Information Too small to see using a light microscope Figure 13.1
Viral Architecture Genome surrounded by a protein coat (capsid) nucleocapsid naked virus generally more resistant generally eukaryotic viruses only

Release of many viral particles Viral particle (virion) Host cell Viruses - General Information Viruses multiply only within a host cell • Utilize the host cell’s machinery (viruses lack the ability to harvest energy, synthesize proteins) • Direct that machinery to produce more viral particles Nucleic acid inside a protein coat
Release of many viral particles Viral particle Host cell Viral Interaction with Host Cells burst size • Productive infection • Viral particles released via: • Lysis of host cell (lytic infection) • Extrusion from host • Latent infection
Viral particle Viral Interaction with Host Cells Host cell • Productive infection • Viral particles released via: • Lysis of host cell (lytic infection) • Extrusion from host • Latent infection • Viral genome resides silently within host
Viral particle Viral Interaction with Host Cells Host cell • Productive infection • Viral particles released via: • Lysis of host cell (lytic infection) • Extrusion from host • Latent infection • Viral genome resides silently within host repressor prophage/provirus • Infected bacterial cell is referred to as a lysogen
Viral Genome • Encodes proteins that: • Make up the viral particle (ex. protein coat) • Assure replication of viral nucleic acid • Enable viral particles (virions) to exit host cell, then enter another • Genome consists of RNA or DNA (not both), double-stranded or single-stranded
Infection Process (productive) T4 Attachment - via specific receptors on host; lack of receptor resistance
Infection Process (productive) T4 Penetration - genome is injected into cell
Infection Process (productive) T4 • Transcription/translation • early proteins -ex. nucleases
Infection Process (productive) T4 • Replication of phage • Replication of phage genomeTranscription/translation • early proteins- nuclease, enzymes involves in phage DNA replication. • late proteins - capsid proteins, lysozymes
Infection Process (productive) T4 Assembly - self-assembly
Infection Process (productive) T4 Release - often lysis, sometimes extrusion (lytic phages lyse cells)
Latent infections Lambda • Temperate phage • Two options: • Lytic cycle • Lysogenic cycle Integration/replication Phage “senses” stress-level of host
Latent infections Lambda Immunity of lysogens repressor Lysogenic conversion
Transduction DNA is transferred via a bacteriophage Generalized transduction Specialized transduction - lytic or temperate phage - temperate phage only
Generalized Transduction Initial steps of a typical productive infection Phage-encoded nuclease degrades host DNA
Wild-type phage Transducing particle carries bacterial DNA Generalized Transduction Initial steps of a typical productive infection Phage-encoded nuclease degrades host DNA Error in packaging
Generalized Transduction Initial steps of a typical productive infection Phage-encoded nuclease degrades host DNA Error in packaging

Specialized Transduction Initial steps generate a lysogen lysogen • begins lytic cycle • incorrect excision
Specialized Transduction Initial steps generate a lysogen • Only DNA that flanks the site of integration can be excised with phage DNA • Some phage genes are left behind lysogen • begins lytic cycle • incorrect excision
defective phage Specialized Transduction Initial steps generate a lysogen • Lytic cyle: • replication of phage parts • assembly • release lysogen • begins lytic cycle • incorrect excision

Infection Process • Attachment • Penetration • fusion with the host membrane (enveloped viruses only)
