Identification of Interactions between Sindbis Virus Capsid Protein and Cytoplasmic vRNA as Novel Virulence Determinants. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne viruses that represent a significant threat to public health at a global level. While the formation of alphaviral nucleocapsid cores, consisting of cargo nucleic acid and the viral capsid protein, is an essential ...

Neck and capsid architecture of the robust Agrobacterium phage Milano
Communications Biology, 2023 Large gaps exist in our understanding of how bacteriophages, the most abundant biological entities on Earth, assemble and function. The structure of the “neck” region, where the DNA-filled capsid is connected to the host-recognizing tail remains poorly ...

Proton-Linked Dimerization of a Retroviral Capsid Protein Initiates Capsid Assembly [PDF]
Structure, 2009 In mature retroviral particles, the capsid protein (CA) forms a shell encasing the viral replication complex. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) CA dimerizes in solution, through its C-terminal domain (CTD), and this interaction is important for capsid assembly.

Cryo-EM structure in situ reveals a molecular switch that safeguards virus against genome loss
eLife, 2020 The portal protein is a key component of many double-stranded DNA viruses, governing capsid assembly and genome packaging. Twelve subunits of the portal protein define a tunnel, through which DNA is translocated into the capsid.

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.

Diagnostic Potential of Parechovirus Capsid Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT To study humoral and cellular immunity against human parechovirus type 1 (HPEV1), the viral capsid proteins VP0, VP1, and VP3 were expressed and purified as glutathione S -transferase (GST)-tagged recombinant proteins. The fusion proteins were used to raise antisera in rabbits.

Dengue virus capsid protein usurps lipid droplets for viral particle formation. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Dengue virus is responsible for the highest rates of disease and mortality among the members of the Flavivirus genus. Dengue epidemics are still occurring around the world, indicating an urgent need of prophylactic vaccines and antivirals.
