Structures of Three Actinobacteriophage Capsids: Roles of Symmetry and Accessory Proteins
Viruses, 2020 Here, we describe the structure of three actinobacteriophage capsids that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis. The capsid structures were resolved to approximately six angstroms, which allowed confirmation that each bacteriophage uses the HK97-fold to form ...

The Enigmatic Capsid Protein of an Encephalitic Rubivirus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2021 The genus Rubivirus was previously comprised of a single member, Rubella virus (RuV), which is spread by airborne or maternal-fetal transmission and only infects humans (1).….

Large-scale functional purification of recombinant HIV-1 capsid. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 During human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) virion maturation, capsid proteins undergo a major rearrangement to form a conical core that protects the viral nucleoprotein complexes.

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.

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 ...

Near-atomic architecture of Singapore grouper iridovirus and implications for giant virus assembly
Nature Communications, 2023 Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), one of the nucleocytoviricota viruses (NCVs), is a highly pathogenic iridovirid. SGIV infection results in massive economic losses to the aquaculture industry and significantly threatens global biodiversity. In recent

Iodination of Poliovirus Capsid Proteins
Journal of General Virology, 1977 Summary Iodination of the surface of poliovirus and its artificial empty capsid demonstrated predominant labelling of polypeptide VP 1 on the intact particle and an increased labelling of polypeptide VP 2 on the artificial empty capsid.
