Summary Introduction

To propose a hypothesis: To compare viral and cellular RNA polymerase in terms of template and functions.

Concept introduction: Cellular RNA polymerase is an enzyme found in all organisms. Viral RNA polymerases play an important role in replication and transcription of virus. Replication is a process of synthesizing an exact copy from the parent or template strand. Transcription is a process where RNA is formed using DNA or RNA as a template.

Virology
Draw a generic (+)RNA virus replication cycle.  For viruses, (+) RNA indicates the genomic RNA can be translated directly.  How would this differ from the system you drew in #1?  Draw a generic (+) RNA virus replication cycle. Indicate which proteins need to be present for RNA replication and translation. Where would they act? Indicate what sequences or modifications would need to be present on the virus RNA for RNA replication and translation. How might a virus differentiate between RNA to be put into progeny virus particles and RNA to be translated into protein?
Assume you isolate a single stranded (+) RNA virus. When you examine the proteins in the virus, you find that it does NOT contain replicase enzymes within its capsid.  Which of the following is true? This virus must have a gene that encodes replicase. This virus will not be able to enter a host cell. Its genome cannot be translated (the process of translation) by the host cell ribosomes. A DNA copy of the viral genome has to be made before viral genes are expressed. This virus must lack surface antigens.
