The architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome inside virion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
SARS-CoV-2 carries the largest single-stranded RNA genome and is the causal pathogen of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. How the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome is folded in the virion remains unknown.

SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein D614G mutation increases virion spike density and infectivity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
SARS-CoV-2 variants with spike (S)-protein D614G mutations now predominate globally. We therefore compare the properties of the mutated S protein (SG614) with the original (SD614).

Zika Virus NS2A-Mediated Virion Assembly

open access: yesmBio, 2019
The flavivirus virion consists of an envelope outer layer, formed by envelope (E) and membrane (M) proteins on a lipid bilayer, and an internal core, formed by capsid (C) protein and genomic RNA. The molecular mechanism of flavivirus assembly is not well

Influenza A Virus Cell Entry, Replication, Virion Assembly and Movement

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Influenza viruses replicate within the nucleus of the host cell. This uncommon RNA virus trait provides influenza with the advantage of access to the nuclear machinery during replication.

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2017
Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

Identifying Phage Virion Proteins by Using Two-Step Feature Selection Methods

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Accurate identification of phage virion protein is not only a key step for understanding the function of the phage virion protein but also helpful for further understanding the lysis mechanism of the bacterial cell. Since traditional experimental methods

ER-shaping atlastin proteins act as central hubs to promote flavivirus replication and virion assembly

open access: yesNature Microbiology, 2019
Flaviviruses, including dengue virus and Zika virus, extensively remodel the cellular endomembrane network to generate replication organelles that promote viral genome replication and virus production.

RF_phage virion: Classification of phage virion proteins with a random forest model

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Introduction: Phages play essential roles in biological procession, and the virion proteins encoded by the phage genome constitute critical elements of the assembled phage particle.Methods: This study uses machine learning methods to classify phage ...

Conserved and host-specific features of influenza virion architecture

open access: yesNature Communications, 2014
Viruses use virions to spread between hosts, and virion composition is therefore the primary determinant of viral transmissibility and immunogenicity. However, the virions of many viruses are complex and pleomorphic, making them difficult to analyse in ...

Virion assembly and release. [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Topics in Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) particles exhibit several unusual properties that are not found in other enveloped RNA viruses, most notably their low buoyant density and interaction with serum lipoproteins. With the advent of systems to grow HCV in cell culture, the molecular basis of HCV particle assembly and release can now be addressed.
