Questions and Answers

What is the function of PB1-F2 in some influenza viruses?

  • Aids in viral replication
  • Promotes host cell survival
  • Localizes to mitochondria and enhances apoptosis (correct)
  • Facilitates viral entry into the host cell

    • Which proteins are encoded by segment 7 of the influenza virus?

  • RNA polymerase subunits PA, PB1, PB2
  • Matrix M1 and envelope protein M2 (correct)
  • Non-structural proteins NS1 and NS2
  • Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase

    • How is fusion of viral envelope with the endosomal membrane facilitated?

  • Viral envelope naturally fuses with endosome
  • Direct fusion upon contact
  • Activation by cleavage by cellular proteases (correct)
  • Endosomal pH change triggers fusion
