Poliovirus requires at least one viral-encoded enzyme to replicate. What is this one enzyme required by poliovirus and why must this enzyme be encoded by the virus?
Poliovirus infects human cells by binding to an immunoglobulin-like receptor, CD155 (also known as the poliovirus receptor or PVR) on the cell surface.Interaction of poliovirus and CD155 facilitates an irreversible conformational change of the viral particle necessary for viral entry.
Poliovirus is a positive-stranded RNA virus. Thus, the genome enclosed within the viral particle can be used as messenger RNA and immediately translated by the host cell. On entry, the virus hijacks the cell's translation machinery, causing inhibition of cellular protein synthesis in favor of virus-specific protein production. Unlike the host cell's mRNAs, the 5' end of poliovirus RNA is extremely long—over 700 nucleotides—and highly structured. This region of the viral genome is called internal ribosome entry site(IRES), and it directs translation of the viral RNA. Genetic mutations in this region prevent viral protein production. The first IRES to be discovered was found in poliovirus RNA.

What would you find encoded in the mRNA of the enzyme helicase? A nuclear localization signal A signal peptide Neither of the above Both of the above
Please briefly state the importance of each stage of viral replication. Do not just restate what each stage does. In addition, why must a virus infect a cell to survive and reproduce?
The synthesis of one molecule of glucose starting from pyruvate requires four molecules of water. One molecule of water is required for each of the hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase-1 and glucose-6-phosphatase, respectively. Which other gluconeogenic enzyme-catalyzed reaction requires water? Why are two molecules of water needed by the latter reaction?

PROBLEM: Suppose you are a researcher developing a treatment for a new viral outbreak. While screening many candidate compounds, you discover one that has beneficial effects in infected mice. Other researchers have shown that in order to replicate, the virus requires a viral protease called ViPri to cleave a viral protein called RIPz. Your experiments suggest that the compound (which you call Novira) inhibits this pathway. You hypothesize that Novira inhibits transcription and/or translation of ViPr1 and/or RIPz. 1. Describe...
