A tail-like assembly at the portal vertex in intact herpes simplex type-1 virions [PDF]
, 2012 Herpes viruses are prevalent and well characterized human pathogens. Despite extensive study, much remains to be learned about the structure of the genome packaging and release machinery in the capsids of these large and complex double-stranded DNA ...

Production of FMDV virus-like particles by a SUMO fusion protein approach in
Journal 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 ...

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

Control of Capsid Transformations during Reovirus Entry
Viruses, 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.

The role of post-translational modifications in parvovirus life cycle
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceParvoviruses are a group of single-stranded DNA viruses that lack an envelope and are widely distributed in both vertebrates and invertebrates. When they infect a host cell, parvoviruses take over the cell’s translational machinery to support the 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.

Capsid protein structure in Zika virus reveals the flavivirus assembly process
Nature Communications, 2020 The structure of flavivirus surface proteins has been elucidated, but the conformation of capsid proteins within particles is less clear. Here, the authors provide a subnanometer resolution structure of Zika virus capsid protein within the virus particle,

The capsid protein of human immunodeficiency virus: designing inhibitors of capsid assembly [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2009 The mature capsid of human immunodeficiency virus, HIV‐1, is formed by the assembly of copies of a capsid protein (CA). The C‐terminal domain of CA, CTD, is able to homodimerize and most of the dimerization interface is formed by a single α‐helix from each monomer.

Assembly and Translocation of Papillomavirus Capsid Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2002 ABSTRACT The major and minor capsid proteins of polyomavirus are preassembled in the cytoplasm and translocated to the nucleus only as a VP1-VP2/VP3 complex. In this study, we describe independent nuclear translocation of the L1 major protein and the L2 minor capsid protein of human papillomavirus type 33 by several approaches.
