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.

Electrostatics and the assembly of an RNA virus [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2005 Electrostatic interactions play a central role in the assembly of single-stranded RNA viruses. Under physiological conditions of salinity and acidity, virus capsid assembly requires the presence of genomic material that is oppositely charged to the core proteins. In this paper we apply basic polymer physics and statistical mechanics methods to the self-

RNA packaging and uncoating in simple single-stranded RNA viruses [PDF]
, 2012 Simple (non-enveloped) small, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infect hosts from all kingdoms of life. However, their assembly and uncoating processes remain poorly understood. For turnip crinkle virus (TCV), 3D reconstructions by cryoelectron

Virus assembly, allostery and antivirals [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2011 Assembly of virus capsids and surface proteins must be regulated to ensure that the resulting complex is an infectious virion. In this review, we examine assembly of virus capsids, focusing on hepatitis B virus and bacteriophage MS2, and formation of glycoproteins in the alphaviruses.

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
