Hantavirus Replication Cycle
• Attachment• Entry and Uncoating• Primary Transcription• Translation• Genome Replication• Secondary Transcription• Virion Assembly• Virion Release
![Page 14: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Attachment
• Viral G1 and G2 glycoproteins interact with cell surface receptors
• Pathogenic hantavirus bind β3 integrins
• Non-pathogenic hantaviruses bind β1 receptors
![Page 15: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Entry and Uncoating
• Virus particles bound to integrin receptors are taken in by receptor mediated endocytosis
• Newly formed vesicles are acidified• Acidic environment changes confirmation of G1
and G2 glycoproteins• Viral and cell membranes fuse• Genomic material and polymerase are released
into cytoplasm
![Page 16: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Attachment and Entry
![Page 17: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Primary Transcription
• Transcription of negative sense vRNA to mRNA
• Viral polymerase transcribes nucleoprotein-coated vRNA
• Capped oligonucleotides from cell’s own mRNA are used to prime transcription (similar to Influenza virus)
![Page 18: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Translation
• L and S segments of mRNA are translated on free ribosomes in cytoplasm
• M segment mRNA is translated on ER-bound ribosomes
![Page 19: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Translation

Genome Replication
• vRNA is used as a template by viral polymerase to make cRNA
• cRNA is used as a template to make more negative sense strands of vRNA
![Page 21: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Secondary Transcription
• Extra vRNA synthesized during replication is used as template to make mRNA
• Since more template is present after vRNA is replicated, more mRNA can be transcribed, and more viral proteins can be made
• Persistent infection
![Page 22: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Virion Assembly
• Membrane-bound G1 and G2 peptides are transported to Golgi apparatus and carbohydrates are attached by N-linked glycosylation
• vRNA complexes with N nucleocapsid protein, forms looped panhandle structure, and complexes with polymerase
![Page 23: Bunyaviridae Clayton M. Johnston. Bunyaviridae Largest family of mammal affecting viruses (250 viruses) Arthropod- or rodent-borne vectors Most are amplified.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf951a28abf838c910f2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Virion ReleaseTwo Mechanisms
• Nucleocapsid complexes bud into the Golgi membrane with G1 and G2 embedded
• Virion particle is formed inside Golgi apparatus
• Virions are transported to cell membrane by vesicles and released by exocytosis
• G1 and G2 embed into cell membrane through Golgi vesicles
• Virions bud from cell membrane, not through Golgi apparatus

Problems Diagnosing Hantavirus
• Symptoms often confused with influenza• Common signs of upper respiratory disease
such as sore throat, sinusitis, and ear pain not usually present

Friday, April 2, 2004OPERATIONS NOTE Public HealthHantavirus UpdateIn view of the untimely death of Glacier National Park Deputy Superintendent Jerry
O'Neal on March 25th from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, we are issuing the following precautions and annual reminders.
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a viral disease transmitted to humans primarily through the inhalation of airborne dusts laden with the virus from infected rodent droppings (urine and saliva may also be sources of infection). Although hantaviruses have been a threat to human health worldwide for at least 50 years, HPS was first recognized in the United States in 1993 around the Four Corners area of the Southwest. Since then it has since been identified throughout the United States. Although rare, HPS is potentially deadly – mortality rates between 40 and 50% are common.
