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 ...

The Astrovirus Capsid: A Review
Viruses, 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.

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.

Capsid-Incorporation of Antigens into Adenovirus Capsid Proteins for a Vaccine Approach [PDF]
Molecular Pharmaceutics, 2010 Some viral vectors are potent inducers of cellular and humoral responses; therefore, viral vectors can be used to vaccinate against cancer or infectious diseases. This report will focus on adenovirus (Ad)-based vectors. Traditional viral-vector vaccination embodies the concept that the vector uses the host-cell machinery to express antigens that are ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
