Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Pandoraviruses are giant viruses of ameba with 1 μm-long virions. They have an ovoid morphology and are surrounded by a tegument-like structure lacking any capsid protein nor any gene encoding a capsid protein. In this work, we studied the ultrastructure

HIV-1 Capsid Core: A Bullet to the Heart of the Target Cell
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The first step of the intracellular phase of retroviral infection is the release of the viral capsid core in the cytoplasm. This structure contains the viral genetic material that will be reverse transcribed and integrated into the genome of infected ...

Packaging signals in single-stranded RNA viruses: nature’s alternative to a purely electrostatic assembly mechanism [PDF]
, 2013 The formation of a protective protein container is an essential step in the life-cycle of most viruses. In the case of single-stranded (ss)RNA viruses, this step occurs in parallel with genome packaging in a co-assembly process.

Maturation of Papillomavirus Capsids [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2005 ABSTRACT The papillomavirus capsid is a nonenveloped icosahedral shell formed by the viral major structural protein, L1. It is known that disulfide bonds between neighboring L1 molecules help to stabilize the capsid. However, the kinetics of inter-L1 disulfide bond formation during particle morphogenesis have not previously been examined.

Pharmacologic hyperstabilisation of the HIV-1 capsid lattice induces capsid failure
eLife, 2022 The HIV-1 capsid has emerged as a tractable target for antiretroviral therapy. Lenacapavir, developed by Gilead Sciences, is the first capsid-targeting drug approved for medical use. Here, we investigate the effect of lenacapavir on HIV capsid stability and uncoating.

Fine Structure of Viral dsDNA Encapsidation [PDF]
, 2019 In vivo configurations of dsDNA of bacteriophage viruses in a capsid are known to form hexagonal chromonic liquid crystal phases. This article studies the liquid crystal ordering of viral dsDNA in an icosahedral capsid, combining the chromonic model with

Viruses, 2020 The assembly of picornavirus capsids proceeds through the stepwise oligomerization of capsid protein subunits and depends on interactions between critical residues known as hotspots.

Tolerance to mutations in the foot-and-mouth disease virus integrin-binding RGD region is different in cultured cells and in vivo and depends on the capsid sequence context. [PDF]
, 2008 Engineered RNAs carrying substitutions in the integrin receptor-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) region of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) were constructed (aa 141-147 of VP1 capsid protein) and their infectivity was assayed in cultured cells and suckling
