Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 9. Virus Genomes and Mobile Genetic Elements

  2. 9.1 The genomes of bacteriophages and eukaryotic viruses 9.1.1 Bacteriophage genomes

  3. Bacteriophage genomes have diverse structures and organizations

  4. Replication strategies for bacteriophage genomes

  5. Lysogenic to lytic • The switch to the lytic mode are stimulated by DNA damage and possibly signals the imminent death of the host by natural causes. • 同林鸟 • The risk of insolation? • Shlomai et al. found that HBV transcription is tightly coupled to the nutritional state of the animals. Short-term starvation of the mice caused a robust induction of HBV expression that was completely reversible by re-feeding. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.103, 16003 (2006)

  6. 9.1.2 The genomes of eukaryotic viruses • One distinct feature of eukaryotic viruses, especially those with animal hosts, is that the capsid may be surrounded by lipid membrane to which virus proteins are attached.

  7. Structures and replication strategies for eukaryotic viral genomes

  8. Genomes at the edge of life • Satellite RNA, virusoid, viroid----nucleic acid molecules that replicate within cells contain no genes. • Prions: only protein, no nucleic acid

  9. 9.2 Mobile genetic elements • Transposition • Transposon, transposable elements • Conservative transposition, replicative transposition • Recombination

  10. the transposable element content of the human genome.

  11. 9.2.1 Transposition via an RNA intermediate

  12. Transposition via an RNA intermediate

  13. RNA transposons with long terminal repeats are related to viral retroelements

  14. RNA transposons that lack LTRs • LINEs: long interspersed nuclear elements • SINEs: short interspersed nuclear elements • Not all copies of LINE-1 are full length. • Alu is derived from the gene for the 7SL RNA, a noncoding RNA involved in movement of proteins around the cell. • Other SINEs are derived from tRNA genes. • Other genes?? Other results?

  15. The structure of an Alu element. The two halves have about 85% sequence similarity.

  16. 9.2.2 DNA transposons

  17. DNA transposons are common in prokaryotic genomes, but less common in eukaryotic genomes

  18. impact of retrotransposons on human genome structure

  19. Something newThe function of Alu

  20. Something New: retrovirus and placenta • The “parasitic” lineage that is an infectious ERV leaves new host DNA behind at each step as it rambles through the genome. Much of this incremental DNA will be deleterious and rapidly eliminated by natural selection. However, the occasional insertions that provide new host functions will be retained. Haig D 2013. Genomic vagabonds: Endogenous retroviruses and placental evolution. Bioessays 35: 845-846 • From virus envelopes to Syncytins which are an essential factor in the fusion of placental syncytiotrophoblastic layer. Pérot P, Bolze P-A, Mallet F. 2012. From Viruses to Genes: Syncytins. In: Witzany G, editor. Viruses: Essential Agents of Life: Springer Netherlands. p. 325-361. • http://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2014/06/retroviruses-the-placenta-and-the-genomic-junk-drawer.html

  21. The Origin of Viruses • Virus-first hypothesis • Escape hypothesis:human hepatitis delta virus (HDV), which contain a ribozyme sequence that is closely related to the CPEB3 ribozyme present in a human intron. HDV is found only in humans and requires human hepatitis B virus to replicate. • Reduction hypothesis:In recent years, the reduction hypothesis was revived by the discovery and genomic characterization of giant viruses such as Mimiviruses, Megaviruses, Pandoraviruses, and Pithoviruses with a very complex set of genes showing little horizontal gene transfer. • Durzynska J, Gozdzicka-Jozefiak A. Viruses and cells intertwined since the dawn of evolution. Virol J. 2015;12:169. • Salehi-Ashtiani et al. A genomewide search for ribozymes reveals an HDV-like sequence in the human CPEB3 gene. Science. 2006; 313:1788–92. • http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-61772-522884.html
