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 ...

Mechanisms of Virus Assembly [PDF]
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2015 Viruses are nanoscale entities containing a nucleic acid genome encased in a protein shell called a capsid and in some cases are surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. This review summarizes the physics that govern the processes by which capsids assemble within their host cells and in vitro.

Tetraspanin Assemblies in Virus Infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Tetraspanins (Tspans) are a family of four-span transmembrane proteins, known as plasma membrane "master organizers." They form Tspan-enriched microdomains (TEMs or TERMs) through lateral association with one another and other membrane proteins. If multiple microdomains associate with each other, larger platforms can form.

Viruses, 2023 The formation of many double-stranded DNA viruses, such as herpesviruses and bacteriophages, begins with the scaffolding-protein-mediated assembly of the procapsid. Subsequently, the procapsid undergoes extensive structural rearrangement and expansion to

Microbial Cell, 2016 Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a human pathogen that establishes latency in the nucleus of infected neurons in the PNS and the CNS. At the transcriptional level latency is characterized by a quasi-complete silencing of the extrachromosomal viral ...

Efficient support of virus-like particle assembly by the HIV-1 packaging signal
eLife, 2018 The principal structural component of a retrovirus particle is the Gag protein. Retroviral genomic RNAs contain a ‘packaging signal’ (‘Ψ') and are packaged in virus particles with very high selectivity.

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.

Dual Role of a Viral Polymerase in Viral Genome Replication and Particle Self-Assembly
mBio, 2018 Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses package several RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) together with their dsRNA genome into an icosahedral protein capsid known as the polymerase complex.
