RNA packaging and uncoating in simple single-stranded RNA viruses [PDF]

, 2012
Simple (non-enveloped) small, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infect hosts from all kingdoms of life. However, their assembly and uncoating processes remain poorly understood. For turnip crinkle virus (TCV), 3D reconstructions by cryoelectron

High repetitive arginine in the anterior of PCV3 capsid protein is a severe obstacle for its expression in E. coli

AMB Express, 2020
Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a novel circovirus identified in sows with PDNS-like clinical signs and reproductive failure. The capsid protein (CAP) of PCV3 is expected to be an effective vaccine candidate.

The Monoclonal Antibody Recognized the Open Reading Frame Protein in Porcine Circovirus Type 2-Infected Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Viruses, 2020
The purpose of this study in the context of the open reading frame 3 (ORF3) protein of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was especially its location and its relation to the capsid protein and the apoptosis protein in PCV2-infected porcine peripheral blood

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 ...

Mutation of a Conserved Nuclear Export Sequence in Chikungunya Virus Capsid Protein Disrupts Host Cell Nuclear Import

Viruses, 2017
Transmitted by mosquitoes; chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is responsible for frequent outbreaks of arthritic disease in humans. CHIKV is an arthritogenic alphavirus of the Togaviridae family.

A capsid-encoded PPxY-motif facilitates adenovirus entry. [PDF]

, 2010
Viruses use cellular machinery to enter and infect cells. In this study we address the cell entry mechanisms of nonenveloped adenoviruses (Ads). We show that protein VI, an internal capsid protein, is rapidly exposed after cell surface attachment and ...

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.

The Interaction between the Major Capsid Protein and the Smallest Capsid Protein of Human Cytomegalovirus Is Dependent on Two Linear Sequences in the Smallest Capsid Protein [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2003
ABSTRACT The assembly of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with recombinant systems has not been accomplished. An understanding of specific interactions between individual capsid proteins could point to unique characteristics of the assembly process of HCMV capsids.

Assembly of bacteriophage P2 capsids from capsid protein fused to internal scaffolding protein [PDF]

Virus Genes, 2010
Most tailed bacteriophages with double-stranded DNA genomes code for a scaffolding protein, which is required for capsid assembly, but is removed during capsid maturation and DNA packaging. The gpO scaffolding protein of bacteriophage P2 also doubles as a maturation protease, while the scaffolding activity is confined to a 90 residue C-terminal ...
