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 ...

A Unique Role of the Human Cytomegalovirus Small Capsid Protein in Capsid Assembly
mBio, 2022 Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous pathogen causing life-threatening disease in immunocompromised individuals. Virus-specific processes such as capsid assembly and genome packaging can be exploited to design new antiviral strategies.

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

A beta-herpesvirus with fluorescent capsids to study transport in living cells. [PDF]
, 2012 Fluorescent tagging of viral particles by genetic means enables the study of virus dynamics in living cells. However, the study of beta-herpesvirus entry and morphogenesis by this method is currently limited.

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.
