Hepatitis C Virus Assembly Imaging [PDF]

Viruses, 2011
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) assembly process is the least understood step in the virus life cycle. The functional data revealed by forward and reverse genetics indicated that both structural and non-structural proteins are involved in the assembly process ...

Structure of SARS-CoV-2 membrane protein essential for virus assembly [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
M protein plays essential roles in virus assembly and morphogenesis. Here, authors reveal two cryo-EM structures of M protein from SARS-CoV-2 that suggest conformational dynamics of M protein and its role in virus assembly.

Trafficking of hepatitis C virus core protein during virus particle assembly.

PLoS Pathogens, 2011
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is directed to the surface of lipid droplets (LD), a step that is essential for infectious virus production. However, the process by which core is recruited from LD into nascent virus particles is not well understood.

Substitutions at Loop Regions of TMUV E Protein Domain III Differentially Impair Viral Entry and Assembly

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Flavivirus envelope protein (E) plays an important role in cellular infection, especially in virulence and antigenicity. E domain III of Tembusu virus (TMUV) is highly conserved among flaviviruses and contains four loop regions. However, the functions of

The curious case of genome packaging and assembly in RNA viruses infecting plants

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Genome packaging is the crucial step for maturation of plant viruses containing an RNA genome. Viruses exhibit a remarkable degree of packaging specificity, despite the probability of co-packaging cellular RNAs.

Structural Assembly of Qβ Virion and Its Diverse Forms of Virus-like Particles

Viruses, 2022
The coat proteins (CPs) of single-stranded RNA bacteriophages (ssRNA phages) directly assemble around the genomic RNA (gRNA) to form a near-icosahedral capsid with a single maturation protein (Mat) that binds the gRNA and interacts with the retractile ...

Mutation of Hydrophobic Residues in the C-Terminal Domain of the Marburg Virus Matrix Protein VP40 Disrupts Trafficking to the Plasma Membrane

Viruses, 2020
Marburg virus (MARV) is a lipid-enveloped negative sense single stranded RNA virus, which can cause a deadly hemorrhagic fever. MARV encodes seven proteins, including VP40 (mVP40), a matrix protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic leaflet of the host ...

Live Cell Imaging Reveals HBV Capsid Translocation from the Nucleus To the Cytoplasm Enabled by Cell Division

mBio, 2023
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly is traditionally thought to occur predominantly in the cytoplasm, where the virus gains access to the virion egress pathway.
