1 Virus (2) Basic elements Structure of DNA and RNA: base = contains information phosphate = linker, charged gives solubility desoxyribose = 2 nd linker, gives helical structure nucleotide = basic element Double stranded b-dna helix : Virus (6) Basic elements minor groove major groove Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -1- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

2 Double stranded DNA helix : Virus (7) Basic elements Conformational Analysis (1) DNA is constructed of the following elements: 4 different heterocyclic bases A, G, T, C 1 sugar desoxyribose 1 phosphate DNA is a double stranded helix DNA is the molecule for information storage = permanent memory = exclusive function Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -2- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

3 Conformational Analysis (2) RNA is constructed of the following elements: 4 different heterocyclic bases A, G, U, C 1 sugar ribose 1 phosphate RNA is often single stranded with multiple structures and multiple functions RNA is the molecule for information transcription = active memory; structural unit = reading head; catalytic activity = functional unit Conformational Analysis (3) DNA is resistant to chemical hydrolysis = stable for years RNA is sensitive to chemical hydrolysis = degrades within minutes Reasons: internal nucleophile steric congestion DNA RNA Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -3- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

4 Conformational Analysis (4) RNA hydrolysis is helped by the presence of the additional H group Conformational Analysis (5) Homo-DNA contains 1 CH2 group more = homologous to DNA Therefore homo-dna contains a six-membered ring instead of a five-membered ring. This makes the conformational analysis much easier. DNA Homo-DNA Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -4- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

6 Conformational Analysis (7) Introduction of an idealized conformation of Homo-DNA-trinucleotide into a diamond lattice Conformational Analysis (8) Repetitive structure of DNA characterized by δ = 60 Gives an almost linear double strand Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -6- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

7 Conformational Analysis (9) Homo-DNA: δ = 60 DNA: δ > 60 ; δ(max) = 120 Conformational Analysis (10) DNA: δ ~ 80 The skeleton of the single strand is helical The helicity is fixed by the double strand formation (= base pair formation) Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -7- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

8 Virus (10) Structure of the Influenza Virus Figure 1: Transmission electron micrograph of avian influenza H5N1 virus Figure 2: Influenza Virus Anatomy STRUCTURE The structure of the influenza virus (see Figure 2) is somewhat variable, but the virion particles are usually spherical or ovoid in shape and 80 to 120 nanometers in diameter. Virus (11) Structure of the Influenza Virus Trimeric hemagglutinin Schematic representation STRUCTURE The influenza virion is an enveloped virus that derives its lipid bilayer from the plasma membrane of a host cell. Two different varieties of glycoprotein spike are embedded in the envelope. Approximately 80 percent of the spikes are hemagglutinin, a trimeric protein that functions in the attachment of the virus to a host cell. The remaining 20 percent of the glycoprotein spikes consist of neuraminidase, which is thought to be predominantly involved in facilitating the release of newly produced virus particles from the host cell Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -8- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

9 Virus (12) Structure of the Influenza Virus Electron microscopic pictures of the influence virus Electron microscopic picture showing the helical ribonucleo-protein STRUCTURE n the inner side of the envelope that surrounds an influenza virion is an antigenic matrix protein lining. Within the envelope is the influenza genome, which is organized into eight pieces of single-stranded RNA (A and B forms only; influenza C has 7 RNA segments). The RNA is packaged with nucleoprotein into a helical ribonucleoprotein form, with three polymerase peptides for each RNA segment. Virus (13) Structure of the Influenza Virus Life cycle of the influence virus STRUCTURE Specific varieties of the virus are generally named according to the particular antigenic determinants of hemagglutinin (13 major types) and neuraminidase (9 major types) surface proteins they possess, as in influenza A(H2N1) and A(H3N2). New strains of the influenza virus emerge due to a gradual process known as antigenic drift. Through this mechanism, the virus is able to largely circumvent the body's immune system Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -9- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010

10 Virus (14) Classification and Nomenclature of Influenza Virus CLASSIFICATIN of virus STRAINS Is done on the basis of antigenicity of NP (nucleoprotein) and MP (matrix protein) into three main groups: Influenza A -HA undergoes minor and occasional major changes - very important. - NA some variation. Influenza B) Undergoes relatively slow change in HA with time. Known only in man. Influenza C) Uncommon strain, known only in man. NMENCLATURE Influenza strains are named in the following way: A TYPE of influenza SINGAPRE TWN where first isolated 6 NUMBER of isolates 86 YEAR of isolation (H1N1) MAJR TYPE of HA and NA Virus (15) Epidemiology Influenza A virus is essentially an avian virus that has "recently" crossed into mammals. Birds have the greatest number and range of influenza strains. Avian haemagglutinins sometimes appear in pig human and horse influenza strains. Every now and then (10-15 years) a major new pandemic strain appears in man, with a totally new HA and sometimes a new NA as well (antigenic shift). This variant causes a major epidemic around the world (pandemic). ver the subsequent years this strain undergoes minor changes (antigenic drift) every two to three years, probably driven by selective antibody pressure in the populations of humans infected Prénom NomUniversité de Neuchâtel -10- Prénom Nom / 12/01/2010
