explain how HIV as retrovirus peoduced more viruses in host Ly.

Expert Solution

HIV only infects lymphocyte (Helper T cells) because they have the receptor for HIV virus as CD4. When the cell is infected the HIV injects its genome , RNA along with certain enzymes. The RNA is converted to DNA by its enzyme, reverse transcriptase. And incoperated inside the host genome. When the host genome undergoes transcription, the viral gene also get transcripted. Now a lots of viral mRNA is produced some of this mRNA is used to make enzymes and proteins for the HIV and some are used for its genomic content. When the viral components are ready, now a multiple of viral mRNA is formed along with its protein, they come out of the cell as matured HIV and infects other neighbouring lymphocytes.

Scenario 2. Normally viruses infect a host cell, replicate themselves inside it and burst the host cell so that they can go on infecting other cells. In this viral infection, the virus has stopped the normal apoptotic pathway to allow themselves to stay within the cell indefinitely – a phenomenon known as latency. Further studies on this virus has shown that the virus encodes inhibitors of caspase 8 activation. Scenario 2 describes the development and maintenance of a latent viral...

Retroviruses such as HIV, the causative agent in AIDS, are RNA viruses, that is, their hereditary material is RNA not DNA. However, the retrovirus carry a gene for Reverse Transcriptase, and enzyme that converts viral RNA to DNA. Does reverse transcriptase violate the rules for the Central Dogma? i.e., DNA->RNA-> Protein?
