RNA directed RNA synthesis Lecture 6 Biology 3310/4310 Virology Spring 2018 Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things --SIR ISAAC NEWTON
Some RNA history • • • • • •
1935 - Stanley crystallizes TMV
• •
By 1959, RNA was identified in many animal viruses
1936 - TMV crystals contain 5% RNA 1944 - DNA is genetic material 1952 - Hershey-Chase experiment 1953 - Structure of DNA 1956 - TMV nucleic acid is infectious; first demonstration that RNA can be genetic material
1960s - studies on viral RNA replication begin

Rules for viral RNA synthesis
• RNA genome must be copied end to end with no loss of nucleotide sequence
• Viral mRNAs must be produced that can be efficiently translated by cellular protein synthesis machinery
Virology Lectures 2018 • Prof. Vincent Racaniello • Columbia University
Universal rules for RNA-directed RNA synthesis
• RNA synthesis initiates and terminates at specific sites on the template • RdRp may initiate synthesis de novo (like cellular DdRp) or require a primer
• Other viral and cell proteins may be required • RNA is synthesized by template-directed stepwise incorporation of NTPs, elongated in 5’-3’ direction
• Some non-templated synthesis Virology Lectures 2018 • Prof. Vincent Racaniello • Columbia University

Which is a universal rule about RNA directed RNA synthesis? A. B. C. D.
RdRp may initiate de novo or require a primer RNA synthesis initiates randomly on the RNA template RNA is synthesized in a 3’-5’ direction RNA synthesis is always template-directed

Go to: b.socrative.com/login/student room number: virus How are influenza virus and VSV RNA synthesis similar? A. The switch from mRNA to genome RNA synthesis is controlled by an RNA binding protein B. Polyadenylation occurs at a short stretch of U residues C. Viral mRNAs are shorter than (-) genome RNA D.
