Bacteriophages and their structural organisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Feline Calicivirus Capsid Protein Expression and Capsid Assembly in Cultured Feline Cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Intracellular Localization of Blattella germanica Densovirus (BgDV1) Capsid Proteins

open access: yesViruses, 2018
Densovirus genome replication and capsid assembly take place in the nucleus of the infected cells. However, the mechanisms underlying such processes as the delivery of virus proteins to the nucleus and the export of progeny virus from the nucleus remain ...

Structures of L-BC virus and its open particle provide insight into Totivirus capsid assembly

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
A 2.9 Å resolution structure of the L-BC virus provides insight into the contacts between capsid proteins and the mechanism of capsid assembly.

Production of FMDV virus-like particles by a SUMO fusion protein approach in Escherichia coli

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are formed by the self-assembly of envelope and/or capsid proteins from many viruses. Some VLPs have been proven successful as vaccines, and others have recently found applications as carriers for foreign antigens or as ...

Bionanomaterials from plant viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Plant virus capsids have emerged as useful biotemplates for material synthesis. All plant virus capsids are assembled with high-precision, three-dimensional structures providing nanoscale architectures that are highly monodisperse, can be produced in ...

Modest truncation of the major capsid protein abrogates B19 parvovirus capsid formation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Intrinsically-disordered N-termini in human parechovirus 1 capsid proteins bind encapsidated RNA

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Human parechoviruses (HPeV) are picornaviruses with a highly-ordered RNA genome contained within icosahedrally-symmetric capsids. Ordered RNA structures have recently been shown to interact with capsid proteins VP1 and VP3 and facilitate virus assembly ...

The Impact of Capsid Proteins on Virus Removal and Inactivation During Water Treatment Processes

open access: yesMicrobiology Insights, 2015
This study examined the effect of the amino acid composition of protein capsids on virus inactivation using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and titanium dioxide photocatalysis, and physical removal via enhanced coagulation using ferric chloride.

Control of Capsid Transformations during Reovirus Entry

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus), a dsRNA virus with a multilayered capsid, serves as a model system for studying the entry of similar viruses. The outermost layer of this capsid undergoes processing to generate a metastable intermediate.
