前言
轉(zhuǎn)眼間,自從精要速覽系列《分子生物學(xué)》第二版出版以來已有五年時間。在這短短五年里,分子生物學(xué)領(lǐng)域有許多值得關(guān)注的事件與發(fā)現(xiàn)。令我們印象深刻的是這本教科書不僅在英國本土,而且是在世界范圍內(nèi),受到學(xué)生們的歡迎,已成為較為流行的課本之一。本書已被譯成葡萄牙語、土耳其語、波蘭語、法語、日語和中文等多種語言。正是因為如此,遠(yuǎn)到加德滿都和伊斯坦布爾,近至我們自己的家園的熱心讀者都給我們發(fā)來了他們寶貴的意見和建議。我們非常感謝這些讀者的寶貴意見,讓我們聽到了他們的聲音,這有助于我們在第三版時進行改進。雖然本書只是對分子生物學(xué)的一個基本概述,但自第二版出版至今本學(xué)科已經(jīng)發(fā)生了重大的進展。這些進展包括:整個小RNA分子領(lǐng)域,涉及microRNAs和RNA干擾技術(shù),因此我們不得不更新了相關(guān)章節(jié)以求將這些新知識包含其中。另一重要的進展在于基因組學(xué)、蛋白組學(xué)、細(xì)胞成像和生物信息學(xué)方面,使我們意識到這些領(lǐng)域在未來將會產(chǎn)生重要且快速的突破,于是我們不得不在本書的最后,增加了兩個章節(jié)來介紹上述這些快速發(fā)展的話題,如此處理會大大簡化第三版修訂與編排。在此特別感謝那些促成本書順利出版的同仁,他們是Sarah Carlson,Liz Owen和Alison Nick,感謝他們的鼓勵與耐心。更要謝謝我們的家人,因為圖書編寫占用了大量本應(yīng)屬于他們的時間,以至于我們無暇顧家庭時,他們也從不抱怨。最后衷心希望第三版能夠繼續(xù)幫助同學(xué)們學(xué)習(xí)、掌握分子生物學(xué)——生物學(xué)中一個非常有趣的學(xué)科領(lǐng)域。

章節(jié)摘錄
The genome of viruses is defined by its state in the mature virion, and variesbetween virus families. Unlike the genomes of true organisms, the virus genomecan consist of DNA or RNA, which may be double- or single-stranded. In someviruses, the genome consists of a single molecule of nucleic acid, which maybe linear or circular, but in others it is segmented or diploid. Single-strandedviral genomes are described as positive sense (i.e. the same nucleotide sequenceas the mRNA), negative sense or ambi-sense (in which genes are encoded inboth senses, often overlapping; see Topic P1). Not all virions have a complete or functional genome, indeed the ratio of thenumber of virus particles in a virus preparation (as counted by electronmicroscopy) to the number of infectious particles (determined in cell culture)is usually greater than 100 and often many thousands. Genomes unable to repli-cate by themselves may be rescued during co-infection of a cell by the productsof replication-competent wild-type genomes of helper viruses, or of genomes with different mutations or deletions in a process known as complementation (see Topic H2). The replication/transcription strategies of viruses vary enormously from group to group, and depend largely on the type of genome. DNA viruses may make more use of the host cells nucleic acid polymerases than RNA viruses. DNA viruses with large genomes, such as herpesvirus (see Topic R3), are often more independent of host cell replication and transcription machinery than are viruses with small genomes, such as SV40, a papovavirus (see Topic R3). RNA viruses require RNA-dependent polymerases which are not present in the normal host cell and must, therefore, be encoded by the virus. Some RNA viruses such as the retroviruses encode a reverse transcriptase (an RNA-dependent DNA poly- merase) to replicate their RNA genome via a DNA intermediate (see Topic R4). The dependence of viruses on host cell functions for replication, and the requirements for specific cell-surface receptors determine host cell specificity. Cells capable of supplying the metabolic requirements of virus replication are said to be permissive to infection. Host cells which cannot provide the necessary requirements for virus replication are said to be nonpermissive. Under some circumstances, however, nonpermissive cells may be infected by viruses and the virus may have marked effects on the host cell such as cell transformation (see Topic R3 and Section S). Some viruses damage the cells in which they replicate, and if enough cells are damaged then the consequence is disease. It is important to realize that viruses do not exist in order to cause disease, but simply because they are able to repli- cate. In many circumstances, virulence (the capacity to cause disease) may be selectively disadvantageous (i.e. it may decrease the capacity for viral replica- tion) but in others it may aid transmission. The evolution of virulence often results from a trade-off between damaging the host and maximizing transmis- sion. The virulence mechanisms of viruses fall into six main categories: ?。╥) Accidental damage to cellular metabolism (e.g. competition for enzymesand nucleotides, or growth factors essential for virus replication). ?。╥i) Damage to the cell membrane during transmission between cells (e.g. celllysis by many bacteriophages or cell fusion by herpesviruses). (iii) Disease signs important for transmission between hosts (e.g. sneezingcaused by common cold viruses, behavioral changes by rabies virus).
