00:31 Okay folks. Welcome. So um , today We start unit two.

00:46 , so obviously no information today is exam one. So uh example of

00:55 starts tomorrow and Saturday. Um anything related to content looking on that

01:04 one review sheet. That's literally what look at when I'm making sure that

01:09 is aligned with that. Okay, there's nothing there's no nothing other than

01:15 exam. So there's no blackboard there's no smart work any of

01:19 So that's off for a week and resume of course next week. So

01:27 that's pretty much all I had um have any questions at this point?

01:35 , so uh so today. so today is one of those flip

01:43 classes, there's like seven questions, of them repeats and there's one that's

01:49 a clipper question. But uh so today's goal is okay. One

01:54 is pretty much follow the sequence of it's in the lecture notes. So

02:01 one topic that's pushed at the end that there's one slide on viral

02:08 So I'm pushing that way to the . We'll talk about that next

02:13 Okay, so we're gonna basically be after today, hopefully. Alright,

02:21 will know all about uh certainly get far in terms of defining a

02:28 So we should probably gonna get to yet, but once we get finished

02:35 part one here, well, you what a virus is how we define

02:40 will know uh features and structures of virus. We'll know the basics of

02:48 viral life cycle. Okay, there's of variations there and it's really part

02:54 where we get into life cycles of , but for now we're just gonna

02:58 here's you know pretty much the same . They all do it from the

03:04 . But I'll mention here and there some variations and we'll get into specifics

03:09 week besides that. It's um you , certain terminology we use with viruses

03:16 the way we describe them and then . So I'm not gonna expect you

03:21 memorize the because there's a couple of that are in the notes, I'm

03:26 gonna expect you to memorize, you in what in what group is this

03:30 and so on and so forth. just meant to kind of show you

03:33 how we classify them here are some of important ones. A lot of

03:38 um ones that are human, human , a lot of them are really

03:43 our RNA viruses. So your flu covid and uh common cold virus

03:53 um mumps and these, a lot what you're familiar with are really RNA

03:57 and we'll talk to that and probably you know of the types of viruses

04:03 RNA virus, animal. RNA viruses probably the ones that can be the

04:08 problematic because they can be kind of complicated in terms of how they do

04:14 replication. So hopefully I can break down. So it's not as

04:19 but because there is a logic to they do it the way they do

04:22 . Okay. But again really that next time. So we'll start with

04:28 few questions here kind of to build here's what the virus is. Some

04:33 of basic facts about them and then of go from there. Okay,

04:38 you'll see questions and you'll see electronic all mixed in here. Okay,

04:44 let's I think let's start with this here. Okay. So which of

04:48 following? Okay. Which the following 80 E is false. So is

04:55 a is there a statement here that's or are they all true?

05:03 I was the clock there for a . Okay. It's for timer again

05:35 down from 10 oz. Okay. we go. 5432. Yes.

05:58 . Yeah. It's uh it is Okay. So They they're not basically

06:08 . So we talked about the base basics viruses back in Chapter one but

06:15 becomes a question of are they are life are they non living? Are

06:21 living? They're kind of occupy that between gray area to some degree.

06:27 . So they they're not eukaryotic. don't call them pro periodic or we

06:31 call them bacteria or archaea. There was the archaea bacteria. You

06:37 our domains. Right. So we they're not one of those kind of

06:41 own thing, more or less. . Um certainly everything else here is

06:46 . Okay. There's very likely. tend to not ever use the word

06:54 in biology because it's always something that's exception. So, but I meant

06:59 say every life form on earth probably some virus that exploits it.

07:05 Um, the genome certainly can be RNA size range. That's on the

07:10 scale. So this is basically 20 900 nano nano meters or this or

07:18 in micrometers. And you can really state in terms of all viruses that

07:24 going to have a genome of course protein sack or protein covering around

07:32 That's the most basic structure of any begins with that. Right. Then

07:36 build on that because there's, there'll variations of that and more added to

07:42 . It's all depending on the viral . Okay. Um, okay.

07:49 we look at uh, discovery. . So just briefly about history

07:54 So this uh, Janowski and buyer this, this this is the time

08:01 of late 19 hundreds, I'm late 18 hundreds, early 19

08:07 So by then, um, it well established. You know, remember

08:12 uh germ theory of disease. That was all like, you

08:17 18 sixties, seventies eighties. So was well established by them. And

08:21 naturally as a result, they assumed yeah, it's probably some kind of

08:28 or some sort that's causing this So, the disease is this,

08:32 , uh, disease of tobacco Right. So when it gets

08:38 of course tobacco is a huge industry then. It still is today.

08:43 . Um And the disease shows itself kind of a the leaves of the

08:50 plant become yellowish um spotted um not . Right? Leaves should be

08:57 Right? If your photo synthesizing so you know damaged And so they go

09:04 what's causing us it must be some of bacteria or something in there.

09:08 , so let's just use post apocalypse his framework. Right? Let's uh

09:12 gonna assume that disease disease leaves contain microbe, right, healthy ones

09:18 Right. So we'll do control and and so they basically crunched up the

09:24 into paste kind of added some liquid it to to be able to filter

09:29 . Okay, they filter it and go okay we're gonna trap the bacteria

09:33 top of the filter will then take scrape it off, take that

09:38 put it on a healthy plant and will come down with disease.

09:42 That never happened. Right? So go, okay well what's going on

09:47 ? That filter traps microbes. so trapped the bacterium. Alright.

09:54 but when they looked at the material went through the filter the filter trait

09:58 call it And applied that to the then they saw this disease process.

10:05 so they knew they were dealing with they hadn't seen before. Something very

10:09 . Right? They knew of bacterial range but they didn't think anything would

10:14 more than that. Okay. And but of course during this time they

10:19 have electron microscopy yet. It was about 30 years down the road.

10:24 so it wasn't until then when the actually see What these things look

10:29 And here's an example of that right . That's the tobacco Mosaic virus which

10:34 actually on very small and viral 20 nm. So um no wonder

10:41 through the filter. Okay. So know, since that time obviously we've

10:46 out that there are viruses specific in life forms that they need a host

10:51 replicate all these um features that we about viruses right? For current host

10:57 replicate as you see there at the left and lower right. Um And

11:02 like like microbes are ubiquitous, found . So are viruses, right?

11:09 the viruses are gonna be where the is at. So of course they're

11:12 be ubiquitous as well. Okay, we'll talk about at the beginning.

11:18 time is kind of this future Okay, so when I was studying

11:26 , learning about viruses way back um honestly couldn't think of anything that was

11:34 or good about a virus. Other than these viruses in the lab

11:40 ways to do experiments. But you , just being out in nature only

11:46 of the viruses were just bad cause but since that time we've shown that

11:51 have a very important role ecologically. , so, you know, if

11:56 remember basic ecology right? We have a dominant species in an ecosystem that

12:02 really minimize what else can thrive And so the diversity in those areas

12:08 kind of low. Um, and especially in marine environments and elsewhere can

12:15 controls on populations. Okay. By them, killing some of them

12:21 They can manipulate the population numbers and And that when you do that,

12:27 makes room for others to kind of not take over but to come about

12:33 well. So you get more diversity many cases when you have viruses that

12:37 kind of doing their thing. Um, now, so we'll look

12:43 some of that next time. But point is, yeah, viruses have

12:47 very important role in the, in ecology and we have them in our

12:53 that kind of manipulates populations in Um, so, and we talked

12:59 faith therapy last time. So that's upcoming role using pages to specifically get

13:05 of certain types of control certain types pathogens. So, um, but

13:10 , undoubtedly were aware of the bad of viruses. Right. Covid have

13:15 a pandemic for the last three Uh, we're all well aware of

13:21 bad viruses can do. But so like with most things are good

13:26 there's bad just like uh, as bacteria as with viruses. Okay,

13:31 , um, uh, so this is just a show kind of

13:35 rages they can span uh very big the larger end Ebola. A smaller

13:43 tobacco Missouri virus with a saw and between and different shapes and sizes

13:50 And so of course um the since don't have a lot of stuff they're

13:56 cells okay they will have um some have more features than others and often

14:04 it relates to their size. They have a bigger genome more genes maybe

14:08 more components. So you know we're see variations in different ways with

14:14 Okay so uh let's look at this . Okay um Are you looking at

14:23 um Any questions so far? Okay me stop the clock. Give me

14:35 time to read that. All right count down from mine. Okay.

15:33 Alright so we have B. And . So the ability to ferment so

15:41 really can't do that but they can't that. Okay so they have um

15:49 don't really have a metabolism in the sense as cells do like having policies

15:56 . You can't provide sugar for a and hopeful growth. Okay viruses are

16:04 reliant on the host cell. Okay they can have this feature an

16:11 They'll have some kind of a genome ache acid. They'll have uh you

16:16 identify them through shape and science caps that's covering around them. So the

16:20 of host cell so you know for of you could you know theoretically A

16:25 C. D. And E. way to identify. Okay but not

16:30 not any kind of metabolism like respiration . That kind of stuff that doesn't

16:35 apply to viruses. Okay so um if we look at the basic structure

16:44 we always use the term a cellular viruses or not cells. Okay.

16:49 have the properties themselves like metabolism like able to replicate on their own.

16:55 But they do have some features compared themselves. They can evolve certainly uh

17:00 can uh do some of the features of replication. Sometimes they'll have to

17:10 a host enzymes but sometimes they may their own to do this.

17:14 Um but undoubtedly they have to have host right to do their functions.

17:18 . And what basically happens is they over the host cell and basically make

17:25 a virus producing factory. Okay. , when that occurs and vary depending

17:32 the viral type. Okay so I explore some of these variations. Okay

17:38 the so the most basic right the has a genome and you have that

17:44 that protein covering the capital in fact made of multiple uh monetary units called

17:52 mirrors. Okay and so uh so look at this question. Okay this

18:00 to we're gonna talk a little bit basic replication of the virus. So

18:04 of these um is not necessarily a replication of all viral types. We've

18:13 at all viruses. There will be things that all have in common in

18:19 of replication but there's gonna be some that some will have and some

18:25 And that's kind of what this is you time. Okay it's count down

19:08 876. Okay. Um 22 of picked a who picked a picked a

19:30 ? Did did you pick a? you are correct. So why did

19:35 take a correct um Is are you of a virus that does not,

19:52 . Whatever virus that does do a know what that does it?

19:59 Yeah that's probably the most famous when knows that can do a integrated in

20:08 genome. We all know this. it forever begin to the H into

20:14 V. H. I. That's the one that does it.

20:19 doesn't do a. Um So the is they will all have this.

20:28 will all do this. Okay sorry up. They were all pen is

20:37 working again so let me try it more time. That okay so they

20:44 all do not gonna look for Hold on. Yeah well we all

20:49 this. Okay so recognition. I that's got to pick one out.

20:56 really big. That's a big Right. You have to be able

20:59 recognize the host the virus does. whatever is on the surface is what

21:04 look at what's on the surface of . Different types of molecules proteins etcetera

21:09 what they look for. They have ones they look for and that brings

21:13 passion and then that starts can start whole cycle for them. So kind

21:18 more or less begins or ends with B. Up there. Okay of

21:24 then if they are they're inside their to exploit the host then certainly protein

21:30 things like ribosomes transfer our N. . They don't have those things.

21:36 uh certainly popular genome or make an for during transcription. Don't need

21:46 Right so that comes from the host well. Obviously replicating viral genome is

21:51 if you're going to make viral particles gotta make genomes for them. So

21:55 those are all gonna be part of viral life cycle. But a is

21:59 of those variations some do it some . Okay and so uh those that

22:07 even those that do it there's Okay and so what they will actually

22:11 what this actually means is that the genome integrates into the host genome.

22:19 and so that's one of those things explore. So let's look at um

22:25 of the basics of the reproduction Okay so then we're going to show

22:30 applies to pretty much any viral life . We next week when we get

22:36 specifics you'll see different variations of Okay so uh of course it starts

22:44 recognition. Okay lock, lock and mechanism. Okay um that that then

22:55 bring about what it might need to host. Okay so asterisk. So

23:03 may or may not need the asterisk . Um certainly if there are any

23:11 they won't need um most RNA viruses a different than what they get from

23:18 host. Okay. Uh DNA viruses need to get some sometimes they have

23:24 own sometimes they use the host. just depends. But certainly things like

23:30 T RNA nucleotides are gonna be Okay um and so again metabolism so

23:43 don't have to generate energy to do functions. So who do they

23:48 They use the host energy. Right basically sapping all the energy from the

23:52 during this process. Okay. And it begins when the genome has to

24:00 . Now this part's process here from to here will have different variations,

24:08 viruses and to leave everything outside the . And only the genome comes

24:13 Animal viruses sometimes very often it's gonna this whole structure that comes into the

24:21 . Okay. But regardless what type is, the viral genome has to

24:27 freed. It has to be able be accessed so it can be

24:32 Right and transcribed, translated. But is what we see one variation.

24:36 copies. Is this right, integrating host comes in question because some do

24:41 don't. Okay. If it is that does this Okay, it

24:49 We'll have to eventually go into this . Okay, so integrating the host

24:56 zone is a it's kind of a thing. Okay, that's kind of

25:06 because HIV can sit in the host for months, years before anything

25:11 Okay. So it kind of depends the viral type. But ultimately,

25:16 it's going to replicate itself and make viral particles, it will have to

25:22 that genome and then go through the , make copies of genome, then

25:28 form basically what's gonna form is that will take over the cell forming this

25:34 complex basically. And again, it's be more a little more complicated eukaryotic

25:41 and character approved periodic sell no You were just looking at the diagram

25:48 an animal virus replication cycle versus a one. It just looks more complicated

25:55 the animal viruses infecting an animal cell is by nature more complicated nucleus

26:03 et cetera, and animal animal virus use all those structures. Some some

26:10 go to begin their cycle, some have part of this part of the

26:15 cycle in the nucleus and outside and back and forth. Some many would

26:21 the endo plastic particular and the Golgi . So that's why I can get

26:26 complicated with these things because the cells infecting is complicated. Ok. Compared

26:31 bacterial virus, it doesn't look is easier to comprehend. Probably.

26:37 so um regardless of whatever type it , it's going to use that cell

26:43 a means to make lots of Okay. Which means it's using wholesale

26:49 . Right? So transcribed, translated teens uh pretty special proteins assemble.

26:56 . And so these terms here vary and because you'll see both in the

27:05 um I use them interchangeably. I have heard other people do

27:10 So I know I'm not the only . So you hear me say those

27:15 terms. So don't let it confuse . Burian equals virus to me.

27:23 . Um Okay, so once you in the course you then they then

27:30 the cell. Okay um now this okay of replication is so all of

27:42 . Okay, of course takes energy resources from the host. So it

27:53 Certainly um slow down in terms of growth but it may be killed by

28:00 , bacterial virus can infect the cell within hours produce 500 page in that

28:06 . Okay, that's not gonna host can't survive that. Okay, so

28:13 have viral types that basically all they is infect lots of viruses kill

28:18 Okay. And um types that are of do this integrate into the

28:25 They can kind of prolong the process you will. Right, so they

28:28 just be in the whole things going . The virus is just sitting in

28:35 genome sitting in there as a the cell replicates all the generations of

28:42 settles are not carrying that viral Like I said, ultimately even those

28:48 have to come back and do this they want to make far apart,

28:55 ? They ultimately go to that Okay. So you can have the

29:00 of viral type. You can have end of the spectrum where they make

29:05 kill cell Okay. To the other where they just kind of hang out

29:13 the cell for a long period of and really don't do much of

29:17 Right. And even then when they in production, they can do it

29:23 only having a few cells being a viruses being formed and if you come

29:29 so you can kind of do it a little bit of time.

29:32 And the host cell can handle that it's not, it's not being overwhelmed

29:37 the virus. So the host can of limp along to a degree and

29:42 to replicate. Right. So you have that. Right. And so

29:45 almost anything in between all depending on viral type. So how much the

29:50 cells affected is really about how much the virus using it to replicate and

29:56 many particles because that's what's taking air that. Okay, ultimately detrimental to

30:03 host. Okay, so retroviruses one those, the HIV virus is one

30:08 those that can do that. You just remain dormant, so to speak

30:12 a long time. You can then to crank up viral production at a

30:17 rate and they can ramp it up we can you know in each of

30:22 is gonna have a different effect on host cell. Okay. So like

30:26 said we'll get into specifics of these week. Uh but but what you

30:31 here is more or less what happens any kind of viral replication? But

30:36 I said, we'll point out some next week. Um Any questions.

30:44 . So um Okay so infective viral relates to what you think? What

30:56 that word or term pops in your anybody? What's that? You

31:08 What you think about it for a anybody. Somebody throw something at me

31:17 matter how crazy it makes sound, think about? Do you think of

31:31 ? Yeah. Like a right in the host. Okay. What does

31:39 entail? That's step one. But what's that boiled down to if it

31:50 happen or not? Right, getting to sell and what's that? Rely

32:03 right recognition. Right. So infectivity or ends with um if it sees

32:13 potential hope if the host has the um surface components that it's involved too

32:24 to recognize the tax identical effect. . So uh respiratory viruses infect you

32:32 either operable respiratory tract among these respiratory . Epithelial tissues and they have specific

32:40 components on the surface that these viruses . Okay um the virus recognizes specific

32:50 in lung tissue. Right? Uh it is varies from virus the

32:56 Okay. And so uh if if compatible right recognize if it recognizes then

33:05 can occur. Okay. And so there are drugs antiviral drugs that are

33:12 to block that like Tamiflu is one is meant to stop the infectivity process

33:19 flu viruses. Um So if you at a uh sell obviously this is

33:27 infection occurring. Right? And so have the viral particles. And so

33:34 were talking about this process here. entry right well it's gettin. Okay

33:40 it is okay as we see all viral particles already being assembled. Okay

33:48 um so we look at that effectivity can Okay one level is how many

34:00 um types can a virus infect? think of it can affect me and

34:09 can affect the squirrels that are running out there. And the birds that

34:13 flying around can sing virus infect all different animal types. Okay. That's

34:19 post branches about. Okay, broad narrow, obvious example. Always used

34:25 this is rabies, rabies can affect types of mammals like squirrels and raccoons

34:31 wolves and dogs and cats and humans bats and etcetera etcetera. Right.

34:36 large, wide range. Um the narrow range of course can't do

34:45 Right. So HIV infects only humans those measles in months um as those

34:54 , okay, infects humans. And so narrow range obviously. And

34:59 that's one level. Right. So we can go from post range how

35:05 different animal types if you will? there's also plant viruses and whatnot.

35:10 then we go to the individual single . Okay, so stay with

35:18 rabies virus can infect humans and various of mammals. Okay, well what

35:25 one? Oh inhuman. How many cells in a rabies virus? In

35:33 , that's what this is about. is. Um I think of that

35:37 specificity. Cell specificity within the Right. And so can it infect

35:47 cells, liver cells, um muscle . Okay. They have a wide

35:53 of a wide scope is um Uh for the most part most viruses

35:59 usually in the narrow spectrum here. , so coronavirus recognizes these kinds of

36:08 proteins. These are actually a type receptor that are found on uh cells

36:14 the respiratory tract. Okay. And in long and so this kind of

36:26 to a host can actually also induce and talk about this later in the

36:33 . And so one of the effects the inflammation is your immune system is

36:36 . But then by project that is build up self. Covid, bad

36:41 of covid can lead to fluid build in the lungs as I'm sure you

36:44 know and that can produce some of more severe effects of the disease.

36:51 That's one example. So a very trumpism is HIV so in a similar

37:00 a narrow host range but also a narrow trope is um okay so in

37:08 one type of multiple t helper cell infect one type of one cell type

37:13 that group. Okay. And it so happens as we'll see later that

37:19 help ourselves particularly the type of effects instrumental in really controlling the whole adaptive

37:27 response. Which is how you proves , how your other cells to deal

37:33 infected cells. And so you're affecting cell type that kind of controls all

37:40 . Imagine if you have if I with that and those cells are

37:45 your immune system is really really um . And so not surprisingly people die

37:53 HIV die from a cold or pneumonia their bodies can't fight any kind of

38:01 . Um now on on the broader Ebola so that that accounts really a

38:08 part for the lethality of Ebola. about at at best. It's about

38:18 gives you about a 50% mortality So if you catch a ball you

38:22 about a 5050 chance of living. . Or so it's upwards of

38:27 mortality rate. Okay. And that large part is because Ebola can affect

38:34 cell types in the body. Okay different types of epithelial cells. Endothelial

38:42 that line blood vessels. So you to infect those now your blood vessels

38:46 leaking. Right? People have died Ebola, horrific because it's fluids coming

38:51 of everywhere. Okay. Blood and have you. And so it's

38:56 that accounts I would assume in large for its uh, deadliness.

39:02 Um, so any questions about host tissue specificity. So, um,

39:12 right. So, they get into little bit about structure, viral

39:17 So, here is uh, interesting virus. So naked virus is lacking

39:24 missing what? Okay, let's count . 10. Okay, If so

40:19 is a naked virus lacking? All envelope lacking an envelope. Okay,

40:27 they can they will have a caps they will have a genome. They

40:31 have black or protein spikes. of course we'll have a host.

40:37 , but um, technically naked one that's lacking an envelope.

40:44 so naked or envelope viruses. so, um, which means it's

40:53 is so envelopes not listed here. it's none of the above.

40:57 so buyer structure. So, we at this in terms of categorized in

41:03 of cemetery symmetrical asymmetrical fila mentis. , symmetrical means of course the cut

41:12 half there. You have identical Alright, so very often with viruses

41:19 have a policy federal shape. 20 . Okay. Um, captured

41:26 So remember the individual units are called mirrors. Uh, there can be

41:33 of those, but but structurally each mirror is not necessarily going to be

41:40 . Right? So Usually 3-5 Different of captured proteins come together assembled to

41:49 the caption. Okay, you have remember that viruses are small but you

41:54 do a small genome which means they have a lot of genes that code

41:58 lots of different things. Right? kind of very efficient that way.

42:02 we captured proteins. They produce every different ones and they assemble.

42:08 And so um and so you can an envelope virus as this is.

42:15 so you see the capsule in the then the envelope on the periphery.

42:20 then you have these are all virus proteins. Alright. The envelope is

42:28 from the wholesale Okay, envelopes are of as far as I know of

42:35 animal viruses, not bacteria viruses. , so when the virus exit the

42:42 the animal cell um it will acquire membrane as it kind of wraps around

42:50 as it exits the host. Um but there will have virus improved

42:57 sticking out of it. Right? call uh proteins those are viable.

43:03 . And they have different functions from recognition and passion to the host to

43:10 of them are involved in helping the exit to sell. Uh Some may

43:14 functions in in uh interacting with immune selves immune system selves to kind of

43:24 those uh defenses of that because remember virus inside of the body has to

43:30 around defenses. So it's gonna have to do that. Um Now the

43:39 spike. So these are just as implies sugar cocaine structures. Right?

43:47 can be quite prominent. Okay of . Hence they call them spikes when

43:52 when they look like that. But enveloped and naked viruses. The naked

43:58 over here on this side. this is a that's a naked

44:10 Okay. You can see a book have spikes. Doesn't have an envelope

44:14 requirement for that. Okay, um the Elementos viruses have this kind of

44:26 looking appearance. Okay, he'll close sometimes call it that um they can

44:32 be uh inside of a inside of uh envelope. As you see there

44:42 see the actual filament is virus here then here is the envelope surrounding

44:50 Ok, so they can have some different shapes. And so the uh

44:57 viruses, this is more common in types. So bacterial stage basically means

45:06 virus specific for infecting bacterial cells. . And they also often called called

45:13 also complex viruses. Okay, have mixture of different structures. So you

45:19 the classic you know viral shape here the genome. But then you see

45:26 other parts here. Okay, so called tail fibers. So just imagine

45:32 is sitting on top of a Okay, bacterial cell and um tail

45:39 help recognize and attached to the And you see this part here.

45:45 . This sheet that can actually compress it can go downward so something like

45:52 . All right. And here's the head. Okay. And the genome

45:59 as it compresses is kind of under and the genome enters the cell.

46:04 . That's very common for bacterial So where all of this stays outside

46:11 cell and only the genome interest very for bacterial viruses to do that.

46:18 . Whereas animal viruses is very common the whole thing. Okay. Uh

46:24 the opposite. Okay. Um and asymmetrical viruses. So you're looking at

46:31 that's a flu virus. And you're well that's symmetrical. I can throw

46:36 line there and both halves look the . Well you get a better picture

46:41 you have to envision that uh that it's more of a blob. Not

46:50 perfect circle. Okay so food cold viruses um can not a strict

46:59 round ball like they will have the kind of off amorphous kind of body

47:07 which makes it asymmetrical. Okay. you do see the captain in here

47:12 green. You see the envelope. the flu viruses you always see a

47:20 of an H. And an Right? There's a church one

47:24 One H. Two and three or the number is. The agent.

47:30 in numbers because there's different variations of . And they refer to this one

47:35 the age hemagglutinin that's the end. . And so the human gluten in

47:43 spike, so to speak is for to the cell. They know many

47:50 . One is for exit. So one works in attachment one

47:54 But they both are types that can uh response. So you can have

48:01 number designations that differentiate them. H N one and so forth.

48:07 The Okay, so here's one thing don't think it's mentioned in chapter

48:15 Okay. And so the coronavirus is example is the covid virus.

48:22 so if you look at the okay, you don't see this traditional

48:29 of enveloped virus. Right? Here's here's the Captain. Right. The

48:34 is the Captain and surrounding the genome the envelopes around. Right. Uh

48:40 don't see that in these diagrams. . But so what it has,

48:45 an envelope virus has a genome but caps it is Are these nuclear what

48:55 called nuclear capsule proteins? Okay, they basically cover The genome.

49:02 So that in essence is the Okay. It's not uncommon to see

49:07 in different viral types. Coronavirus is and there's other types, they don't

49:14 the traditional middle think of this house up the genome. It's more intimately

49:21 with the genome binding proteins binding to genome. Okay, the function of

49:25 is the same as for particularly It's just that with this one

49:30 The proteins are actually bound directly to genome. Okay. Hence they call

49:36 nuclear capsule, nucleic acid capsule kind combination. Okay. Um so uh

49:46 questions? So viral genome. So just put this in to kind of

49:52 you an idea of average size is genomes. Of course there'll be some

49:56 the super small, some are Um you know this is part of

50:01 . So zika virus um is and flu virus have approximately the same sizes

50:08 the genome is very different in terms structure. Okay, so uh what

50:13 call non segmented is basically a continuous of the okay um segmented means it's

50:24 uh fragments of the genome. And so there will be certainly viral

50:32 proteins. Right. Some of these for um attachment recognition right summer for

50:39 from the cells. Some are for know, different types of particular enzymes

50:45 in the virus specific enzymes involved in replication process. So you'll see some

50:50 these uh again with the size limitation the virus were limited to you know

50:57 between 10 to 50 to 100 genes a larger and like a polio virus

51:02 rather large. They're going to be than 100 jean size genome.

51:08 Um but back to the flu So this segmented genome uh means that

51:17 you know their ability we combine is high. Okay. So generally speaking

51:25 viruses period have a higher mutation rate you know, certainly bacteria. Certainly

51:35 . Okay but when you look at , RNA viruses have an even higher

51:40 . RNA virus virus versus virus RNA have a much higher rate because there's

51:49 mechanism to repair any mistakes that are during replication. Okay. Um A

51:55 virus can potentially use a host repair to kind of fix mistakes.

52:02 But the virus is not so Okay so they can mutate much

52:07 Okay. Um And so with with viruses their origins are in like aquatic

52:14 like ducks um and then travel into fowl chickens um and then also into

52:26 . Um And so you can see of the origins in their genomes.

52:34 ? So this is kind of color . Here's an avian flu virus.

52:38 color coded yellow. Okay. The fragment segments here the human H.

52:45 into the believe that green is like maybe the reddest swine origin. The

52:55 maybe from uh chicken or duck I . But anyway you see the organs

53:02 these in the segments where they originated . And so of course they can

53:08 . Right? And so a viral you can have population of a virus

53:15 a specific type of flu virus. say uh they can they will be

53:21 genetically different from each other. Absolutely be that way. And they may

53:26 fact that they can both affect the cell as well. That's where you

53:30 get mixtures and recombining of the genomes this. Okay. And now,

53:37 because they have a higher mutation rate the combination can occur, it doesn't

53:43 we have we're all going to be right? Most aren't gonna be successful

53:48 terms of being a better reform. ? But you know, the it

53:53 lead to some variations where the vaccine not be as effective. So that's

54:00 thing with food vaccine. So it everywhere because of paul's um mutation

54:08 And so um year to year we to predict what happens with it because

54:12 take we know we sequence these these viruses every season. We have we

54:19 what their genomes look like and then try to predict. Okay, is

54:24 a certain trend? That's what part the devolving more so than the other

54:29 that we can take the vaccine toward ? And that's what all goes into

54:34 . And uh and the flu vaccine a it's comprised of multiple antigens in

54:40 . And so but as we all , the flu shot wasn't always a

54:46 success, right? Can bury it you can only predict it can't be

54:50 in terms of these things. And it's it's gonna be the same thing

54:54 up with Covid we're gonna have a vaccine area more likely. And uh

55:01 probably better than others. Its So that's the nature of viruses and

55:06 evolve like we do. So they change as well. Okay.

55:13 so any questions from viruses into I you could say virus, like over

55:24 , over there, not viruses. this is the price and virus.

55:30 is one of those that's going to a um we're gonna see it

55:35 So we're gonna answer log the results then just move on and then talk

55:41 it and then come back and revisit you're not sure this time, I

55:48 to be short second time around. , we pause that we tend to

55:54 it. So the entire sentence has be true. If only half of

56:04 true. Don't select. Sorry. . Okay, let's count down.

57:03 mm hmm. See. Okay, count to one. Alright snapshot.

57:25 , Alright, so let's move We'll revisit this here in a few

57:29 . So dr Royce and brian's first roids. So first off neither of

57:37 is considered a virus. A virus a specific structure minimum latino for the

57:44 coating around it. Right, So and prions don't fit that.

57:49 In fact, Vier Oid actually means like Okay, one is a infectious

57:57 Montel ones and infectious protein. so um and that's and that's

58:04 It's an RNA molecule and its There's no other structures associated with

58:09 Okay, so Vai roids are as as I know, limited to just

58:16 plants of different types. Okay, not aware of any viral roid,

58:22 disease caused by a viral, okay think the most studied of these are

58:28 that affect the potato, potato, , potato plants. Um and they

58:36 something on your molecule. They'll have secondary structure to it that you see

58:42 . So they have these kind of structures. RNA molecules can have catalytic

58:49 um in in red zones. Remember ? It's uh I think that 16

58:55 . RNA that catalyze is the peptide for me. Okay so remember the

59:01 S. Regardless and it's an RNA catalyze is the actual enzyme reaction.

59:06 that's not this is not anything And so um it does require the

59:13 preliminary to copy itself. That's that's its replication basically. Okay. Um

59:19 affect protein synthesis or protein expression and expression. Sorry, they affect gene

59:25 , they interfere with the ability of arrives them to express genes in the

59:31 and that's how they affected. And um the uh they're relatively small how

59:40 transmitted from plant to plant. I not sure I'm guessing like with many

59:46 diseases oftentimes it's insects that are involved the transmission. So it could be

59:53 I can't say for certain but um I can say this point is that

59:58 know that the humans aren't affected by as far as I know. Okay

60:03 they apparently can be quite damaging. I know that they forget the number

60:07 saw on damage to potato plant crops the U. S. Can be

60:13 . So it is something that uh are dealing with that are in this

60:19 . So um that's really all I to say about virals. Okay now

60:25 crayons we uh you're probably more familiar this call, have disease heard of

60:33 before. Um It's a um causes severe neurological condition. Um It's a

60:42 progressing disease over years so that's something happened suddenly. Okay. There's really

60:49 danger of human requirements in the United . Okay. Um the if you

60:57 to contract it would be from eating meat. Okay. Uh typically found

61:04 cases that were has happened a long ago was cattle, cattle. Uh

61:10 no cure for it. Um basically have to burn the carcasses of animals

61:17 with it killed them and burned But Um that hasn't happened for quite

61:22 time. There was somewhat of incidence the 80s in in England but never

61:28 amount to anything over here in the . Okay. Um so the there

61:35 different variations of this I think depending on the animal host. Okay so

61:43 Jacob is what they call it in . There is apparently a some evidence

61:48 a genetic link to this that um it's seen in some humans that there's

61:58 of a somewhat of a history of in certain families so there's I'm not

62:02 it's been fully fleshed out but there some evidence to support that. Aside

62:09 that, like I said, acquiring through eating contaminated meat food. The

62:15 so scrapie is the form, I this was first discovered. This is

62:20 sheep, scrapie in sheep. Um so the so what is this

62:27 Right, so it's a it's a that is normally found. It's found

62:34 us. It is in our Okay, fancy er membranes and um

62:40 there is a normal form approach and still not really sure what the function

62:46 . I've seen everything from involved in metabolism of all things to um other

62:52 of functions, but I don't think yet been nailed down what it is

62:56 the function. But um it it there's two configurations. That's what they

63:04 the normal form, which is the functioning form of the protein. And

63:08 misfolded form and that's the one that produce the disease symptoms. Okay,

63:15 how does this thing replicate? well, to quote replication in air

63:21 , all right, is by binding a normal form of the protein.

63:27 , so what you see right Okay, uh here's the abnormal thirst

63:35 normal. Okay, so the normal becomes misfolded by binding with this prion

63:42 . Okay, and that sets off of a chain reaction. It binds

63:48 a normal form changing into a prion and you accumulate these prion forms.

63:55 , misfolded forms. Again, it's slow progressing disease. Okay, so

64:01 builds up over time. Okay. so um what happens is so again

64:10 could result from eating ingesting attempted meat if it's this genetic component, you

64:18 the mutation, the genetic mutation and actually produce these kinds of proteins.

64:24 um the uh in any case, they accumulate over time and can uh

64:34 I think in some cases they can like large polymers. They can distort

64:38 cell. Obviously it destroys the functioning the cell and where these accumulate.

64:46 , so basically holds. Okay. the brain tissue. Okay, I

64:54 they sometimes call these plaques as So the space for the neuron used

64:58 be functioning is no longer and now have a whole, right, so

65:04 name really tells you kind of what your spongiform, right? So you

65:08 holes in brain tissue, it becomes different consistency. Okay, obviously you

65:15 want to have a brain that looks swiss cheese. Okay, you're not

65:19 function. Right, Okay, so but again, slow progressing right over

65:26 , many many years. Okay, is no proof for it.

65:30 so but surprisingly, it's having just about in Chapter five disinfectants and chemical

65:40 treatment. So this these proteins are very um resistant. You really have

65:46 if you do happen to know you're contaminated meat and well I don't eat

65:50 . But if you must know that will be super well done. Okay

65:55 it takes a pretty good long temperature to really inactivated. So um and

66:02 apparently resistant to different chemical treatments and . So it's uh it is a

66:09 thankfully you know it's not something again number of cases occur in the

66:12 S. Last year I think is . Right? So it's not something

66:15 be worried about. But what's unique it? Of course it's the

66:21 It's an infectious protein. That's these is a protein which is of course

66:26 need um many questions. I'm not of any other prion diseases beyond

66:37 Um Okay so this shows you again a different diagram, there's a neuron

66:44 so the red or the accumulation of misfolded forms and they accumulate over

66:52 They used to be in this normal shape, the green ones. But

66:57 course eventually the neuron dies as a of this process. And so so

67:05 revisit the question. Okay and see we get a different results.

67:34 Okay. Okay. Number five Okay so one from 39 to

68:31 Right, so uh d is the answer. So where is the that's

68:43 they replicate primes don't do that. the only statement there that's completely

68:49 Um Any questions. Okay let's look one more question here. That kind

68:57 relates to next target coming up. so um let me pause that for

69:05 second. So in reference to RNA . Right. Depending on the particular

69:12 virus type, this genome could be as a template for what? Cap

69:49 a little bit. Okay. cannot nine. Yeah. If you answer

70:24 the above you are correct. DNA synthesis, you may know what

70:31 that is. Yeah. Retro Yes. Since this retrovirus M.

70:38 . So this is the difference between plus R. N. A minus

70:47 virus. Okay, So the plus is directly translatable. The the -1

70:55 not right. That's kind of where confusion comes in and how the life

71:00 operate for these two types of Okay, um that's I'm gonna stop

71:07 , folks. So we'll leave it . We'll pick it up next

71:12 So
