Structural and mechanistic bases for resistance of the M66I capsid variant to lenacapavir

open access: yesmBio
Lenacapavir (LEN) is the first-in-class viral capsid protein (CA) targeting antiretroviral for treating multi-drug-resistant HIV-1 infection. Clinical trials and cell culture experiments have identified resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in the ...

The Retrovirus Capsid Core

open access: yes, 2018
The retrovirus capsid core is a metastable structure that disassembles during the early phase of viral infection after membrane fusion. The core is intact and permeable to essential nucleotides during reverse transcription, but it undergoes disassembly for nuclear entry and genome integration.

Recombinant in vitro assembled hepatitis C virus core particles induce strong specific immunity enhanced by formulation with an oil-based adjuvant

open access: yesBiological Research, 2009
In the present work, immunogenicity of recombinant in vitro assembled hepatitis C virus core particles, HCcAg.120-VLPs, either alone or in combination with different adjuvants was evaluated in BALB/c mice. HCcAg.120-VLPs induced high titers of anti-HCcAg.

A Potent, Long-lasting HIV Capsid Inhibitor

open access: yes, 2020
Antiretroviral drugs have saved the lives of millions living with HIV/AIDS. However, problems with drug resistance limit available treatments, and inconsistent adherence to daily dosing schedules can lead to poor outcomes and new infections.

Antibody Competition Reveals Surface Location of HPV L2 Minor Capsid Protein Residues 17–36

open access: yesViruses, 2017
The currently available nonavalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine exploits the highly antigenic L1 major capsid protein to promote high-titer neutralizing antibodies, but is limited to the HPV types included in the vaccine since the responses are ...

Efficient Capsid Antigen Presentation From Adeno-Associated Virus Empty Virions In Vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been successfully applied in clinical trials for hemophilic patients. Although promising, the clinical results suggest that the capsid-specific CD8+T cell response has a negative effect on therapeutic success. In

The capsid protein of human immunodeficiency virus: designing inhibitors of capsid assembly [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2009
The mature capsid of human immunodeficiency virus, HIV‐1, is formed by the assembly of copies of a capsid protein (CA). The C‐terminal domain of CA, CTD, is able to homodimerize and most of the dimerization interface is formed by a single α‐helix from each monomer.

Characterisation of a non-pathogenic and non-protective infectious rabbit lagovirus related to RHDV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The existence of non-pathogenic RHDV strains was established when a non-lethal virus named rabbit calicivirus (RCV) was characterised in 1996 in Italy.

Cluster J Mycobacteriophages: Intron Splicing in Capsid and Tail Genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bacteriophages isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 represent many distinct genomes sharing little or no DNA sequence similarity. The genomes are architecturally mosaic and are replete with genes of unknown function.

Trypsin is associated with the rotavirus capsid and is activated by solubilization of outer capsid proteins

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2005
The rotavirus capsid is made up of three concentric protein layers. The outer layer, consisting of VP7 and VP4, is lost during virus entry into the host cell. Rotavirus field isolates can be adapted to high-titre growth in tissue culture by treatment with trypsin and by supplementing the culture medium with trypsin, which cleaves VP4 into two fragments,
