Viruses and Their Replication - Replication of Bacteriophage T4
4 important questions on Viruses and Their Replication - Replication of Bacteriophage T4
What three parts can the multiplication process of T4 be divided into?
- Early processes
- Middle processes
- Late processes
What happens in the early process of T4 multiplication?
- Enzyme for the synthesis and glucosylation of the T4 base hydroxymethylcytosine
- Enzymes that function in T4 genome replication
- Proteins that modify host RNA polymerase
What happens in the late process of T4 multiplication?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the packaging process of the T4?
- Precursors of the bacteriophage head, called proheads, are assembled but remain empty.
- A packaging motor is assembled at the opening to the prohead and the double stranded linear T4 DNA genome is pumped into the prohead using ATP as the driving force.
- The packaging motor itself is discarded and the capsid head is sealed.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
