Comparison in structural fold space of capsid proteins and non-capsid ones.

open access: yes, 2013
Capsid proteins form large, highly symmetric protein shells (left), while generic proteins form other types of complexes (right), exemplified here by an RNA polymerase elongation complex.

Foamy Virus Budding and Release

open access: yesViruses, 2013
Like all other viruses, a successful egress of functional particles from infected cells is a prerequisite for foamy virus (FV) spread within the host. The budding process of FVs involves steps, which are shared by other retroviruses, such as interaction ...

Simultaneous membrane and RNA binding by tick-borne encephalitis virus capsid protein.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the ...

L2, the minor capsid protein of papillomavirus

open access: yesVirology, 2013
The capsid protein L2 plays major roles in both papillomavirus assembly and the infectious process. While L1 forms the majority of the capsid and can self-assemble into empty virus-like particles (VLPs), L2 is a minor capsid component and lacks the capacity to form VLPs. However, L2 co-assembles with L1 into VLPs, enhancing their assembly.

Aquareovirus NS80 Initiates Efficient Viral Replication by Retaining Core Proteins within Replication-Associated Viral Inclusion Bodies. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Viral inclusion bodies (VIBs) are specific intracellular compartments for reoviruses replication and assembly. Aquareovirus nonstructural protein NS80 has been identified to be the major constituent for forming globular VIBs in our previous study.

The papillomavirus major capsid protein L1

open access: yesVirology, 2013
The elegant icosahedral surface of the papillomavirus virion is formed by a single protein called L1. Recombinant L1 proteins can spontaneously self-assemble into a highly immunogenic structure that closely mimics the natural surface of native papillomavirus virions. This has served as the basis for two highly successful vaccines against cancer-causing

Tropism-modification strategies for targeted gene delivery using adenoviral vectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Achieving high efficiency, targeted gene delivery with adenoviral vectors is a long-standing goal in the field of clinical gene therapy. To achieve this, platform vectors must combine efficient retargeting strategies with detargeting modifications to ...

An interaction between glutathione and the capsid is required for the morphogenesis of C-cluster enteroviruses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant cellular thiol playing an essential role in preserving a reduced cellular environment. Cellular GSH levels can be efficiently reduced by the GSH biosynthesis inhibitor, L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO). The aim of our

Spatiotemporal binding of cyclophilin A and CPSF6 to capsid regulates HIV-1 nuclear entry and integration

open access: yesmBio
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid, which is the target of the antiviral lenacapavir, protects the viral genome and binds multiple host proteins to influence intracellular trafficking, nuclear import, and integration.
