The Astrovirus Capsid: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Astroviruses are enterically transmitted viruses that cause infections in mammalian and avian species. Astroviruses are nonenveloped, icosahedral viruses comprised of a capsid protein shell and a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. The capsid protein undergoes dramatic proteolytic processing both inside and outside of the host cell, resulting ...

Capsid structure of phage SPO1 reveals novel minor capsid proteins and insights into capsid stabilization

Structure
SPO1-related bacteriophages are promising candidates for phage therapy. We present the 3.0 Å cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the SPO1 capsid with a triangulation number T = 16, enabling the construction of an atomic model comprising the major capsid protein and three types of minor capsid proteins: gp29.2, gp2.7, and gp36.3. These minor

HIV Capsid Assembly

Current HIV Research, 2003
HIV Gag assembly is the first and most essential step in the formation of virus particles. Following protein synthesis, Gag relocates from ribosomes and forms a virus particle at the plasma membrane, using host factors and machinery. Early studies focused on mapping the regions within Gag required for assembly and identified three distinct domains (M ...

The Retrovirus Capsid Core

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.

Formation of empty B19 parvovirus capsids by the truncated minor capsid protein

Journal of Virology, 1994
We previously reported that empty capsids of B19 parvovirus were formed by the major capsid protein (VP2) alone expressed in a baculovirus system, but the minor capsid protein (VP1), longer by 227 amino acids, alone did not form empty capsids. We report here further investigations of the constraints on capsid formation by truncated versions of VP1 ...

Modifying Filamentous Phage Capsid: Limits in the Size of the Major Capsid Protein

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1995
Ff filamentous phages are long thin cylindrical structures that infect bacteria displaying the F pilus and replicate without lysing the host. These structures are exploited to display peptides by fusing them to the amino terminus of either the bacterial receptor protein (pIII) or the major coat protein (pVIII).

Role of Capsid Proteins

2008
Coat proteins (CPs) of all plant viruses have an early function in disassembly of parental virus and a late function in assembly of progeny virus. Depending on the virus, however, CPs may play a role in many steps of the infection cycle in between these early and late functions.

A minor capsid protein P30 is essential for bacteriophage PRD1 capsid assembly

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2001
Bacteriophage PRD1 is a double-stranded DNA virus infecting Gram-negative hosts. It has a membrane component located in the interior of the isometric capsid. In addition to the major capsid protein P3, the capsid contains a 9 kDa protein P30. Protein P30 is proposed to be located between the adjacent facets of the icosahedral capsid and is required for

Capsid Protein-Encoding Genes of Hamster Polyomavirus and Properties of the Viral Capsid

Virus Genes, 1999
On the basis of its genome organization the hamster polyomavirus (HaPV) is closely related to the murine polyomavirus Py. But HaPV infection, in contrast to Py infection, gives rise to two different tumor types; depending on the hamster strain used for infection, HaPV induces either epitheliomas or lymphomas.
