Reference: Chapter 3 Carter And Saunders, 2007

The nucleic acid genome plus the
protective protein coat is called the
nucleocapsid which may have
icosahedral, helical or complex symmetry.

the envelope
• Enveloped viruses obtain their
envelope by budding through
a host cell membrane
• In some cases, the virus buds
through the plasma
membrane but in other cases
the envelope may be derived
from internal cell membranes
such as those of the Golgi
body or the nucleus


the envelope

• Enveloped viruses do not
necessarily have to kill their
host cell in order to be
released, since they can bud
out of the cell - a process
that is not necessarily lethal
to the cell - hence some
budding viruses can set up
persistent infections


the envelope
• Enveloped viruses are readily
infectious only if the envelope
is intact (since the viral
attachment proteins which
recognize the host cell
receptors are in the viral
envelope)
• This means that agents that
damage the envelope, such as
alcohols and detergents,
reduce infectivity

Viruses
Icosahedral Viruses

ICOSAHEDRAL
CAPSID
• Icosahedral morphology is
characteristic of the
nucleocapsids of many
“spherical” viruses
• The icosahedral capsid
structure of adenovirus is
made up of three proteins,
hexon, penton base, and ﬁber
• Some proteins are associated
with viral DNA, whereas
others are associated with
hexon and are involved in
the formation of the capsid

HELICAL
CAPSID
• The icosahedral capsid structure
of adenovirus is made up of
three proteins, hexon, penton
base, and ﬁber
• Helical morphology is seen in
nucleocapsids of many
ﬁlamentous and pleomorphic
viruses
• Helical nucleocapsids are
characterized by length, width,
pitch of the helix, and number of
protomers per helical turn

CAPSOMERES:
structural polypeptide

✤ The number and
arrangement of the
capsomeres are useful in
identiﬁcation and
classiﬁcation

BASIS OF
CLASSIFICATION

• PRIMARY: nature of their genome and
their structure
• NUCLEIC ACID
• RNA or DNA (single-stranded or double-stranded; non-
segmented or segmented; linear or circular; if genome is
single stranded RNA, can it function as mRNA?; whether
genome is diploid (such as in retroviruses)
• VIRION STRUCTURE ( symmetry (icosahedral, helical,
complex); enveloped or not enveloped; number of
capsomeres

BASIS OF
CLASSIFICATION

• SECONDARY:
• replication strategy
