Heat induced capsid disassembly and DNA release of bacteriophage λ. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Successive structural changes of bacteriophage λ upon heating were characterized with quantitative experimental methods. In the commonly used Tris-Mg buffer, differential scanning calorimetry measurements first established that the protein capsid of λ ...

Viruses, 2023 Human Cytomegalovirus Capsid Assembly Protein Precursor (pAP, UL80.5) plays a key role in capsid assembly by forming an internal protein scaffold with Major Capsid Protein (MCP, UL86) and other capsid subunits.

Protein chainmail variants in dsDNA viruses. [PDF]
, 2015 First discovered in bacteriophage HK97, biological chainmail is a highly stable system formed by concatenated protein rings. Each subunit of the ring contains the HK97-like fold, which is characterized by its submarine-like shape with a 5-stranded β ...

Feline Calicivirus Capsid Protein Expression and Capsid Assembly in Cultured Feline Cells [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1999 ABSTRACT The capsid protein of feline calicivirus (FCV) was expressed by using plasmids containing cytomegalovirus, simian virus 40, or T7 promoters. The strongest expression was achieved with the T7 promoter and coinfection with vaccinia virus expressing the T7 RNA polymerase (MVA/T7pol). The FCV precursor capsid protein was processed to the

A kinase chaperones hepatitis B virus capsid assembly and captures capsid dynamics in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 The C-terminal domain (CTD) of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is involved in regulating multiple stages of the HBV lifecycle. CTD phosphorylation correlates with pregenomic-RNA encapsidation during capsid assembly, reverse transcription, and viral ...

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2023 Recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) mediated gene therapy is gaining traction in treating genetic disorders. Current rAAV production systems yield a mixture of capsids largely devoid of the transgene (empty capsid) compared with the desired ...

Osmotic pressure: resisting or promoting DNA ejection from phage [PDF]
, 2008 Recent in vitro experiments have shown that DNA ejection from bacteriophage can be partially stopped by surrounding osmotic pressure when ejected DNA is digested by DNase I on the course of ejection.

The effect of chemical chaperones on the assembly and stability of HIV-1 capsid protein. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Chemical chaperones are small organic molecules which accumulate in a broad range of organisms in various tissues under different stress conditions and assist in the maintenance of a correct proteostasis under denaturating environments.

Bacteriophages and their structural organisation [PDF]
, 2012 Viruses are extremely small infectious particles that are not visible in a light microscope, and are able to pass through fine porcelain filters. They exist in a huge variety of forms and infect practically all living systems: animals, plants ...

Modest truncation of the major capsid protein abrogates B19 parvovirus capsid formation [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1995 In vitro studies have suggested an important role for the minor capsid protein (VP1) unique region and the junction between VP1 and the major capsid protein (VP2) in the neutralizing immune response to B19 parvovirus. We investigated the role of the NH2-terminal region of the major structural protein in capsid structure by expressing progressively more
