AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a study by Danish researchers exploring how viruses manipulate human cells to produce viral proteins. Human cells use RNA to instruct ribosomes to create proteins, but when a virus invades, it introduces its own RNA, which mimics human RNA. This allows ribosomes to mistakenly read the viral RNA and produce viral proteins instead. A key aspect of this process involves the presence of pseudo-knots in viral RNA, which complicates ribosome function. The researchers found that stronger pseudo-knots increase the likelihood of ribosomes slipping backward, leading to the production of different proteins. This mechanism is crucial for viruses like HIV, as it enables them to co-opt the host's cellular machinery to generate proteins necessary for their replication. The question raised pertains to how the altered protein produced by the ribosomes can still contribute to virus construction, highlighting the complexity of viral interactions with host cells.

The article Danish researchers solve virus puzzle
here
describes how physicists and biologists work together to examine how viruses are produced by a cell.

As far as I understand, every human cell has RNA which contains the 'recipe' on how to build proteins. The human cell also contains ribosomes that read the RNA and produce proteins.

Now, the virus invades the cell, leaves its RNA in the cell. The trick: because the viral RNA resembles the human RNA, the ribosomes read the viral ribosomes and produce proteins for the construction of a virus.

But the viral RNA has in contrast to the human RNA some curls, called pseudo-knots. The ribosomes have to unravel the pseudo-knot first. While doing this, they sometimes slip backwards such that the recipe is read in a different way.

Now my question about the following passage in the article:
During this process the ribosome sometimes slips backwards and, like the letters making up a word, it now reads a new RNA sequence and hence uses another recipe to construct the protein. The researchers have found that the stronger the pseudoknot the more often this backwards slipping happens. The different protein formed is the protein needed by the virus, with possible serious consequences for the hosting organism. This is the manner in which many vira, e.g. HIV, trick the cell into producing something which it never would have done otherwise.

I wonder about the sentence The different protein formed is the protein needed by the virus. Why can this different protein also be used to construct the protein?

Oops, my question is of course:
Why can this different protein also be used to construct the virus?

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
