Spherical virus assembly

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1994
Abstract A wide variety of structural and biophysical techniques have been used to study viral assembly pathways. For example, the use of three-dimensional electron microscopy has allowed the visualization of viral assembly intermediates, as well as mature capsids. More detailed views of small icosahedral viruses and viral proteins, such as proteases,

The physics of virus assembly

Physical Biology, 2010
Viruses are pathogens in every kingdom of life and are major causes of human disease and suffering. They are known to encompass a size range that overlaps with that of the smallest bacterial cells, and the largest viruses now seem to be hosts of their own viral pathogens.

Assembly of tobacco mosaic virus

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1976
Abstract The assembly of tobacco mosaic virus requires the presence of a particular protein aggregate, the disk. During the nucleation, a specific region of the RNA interacts with a single disk, to bring about a necessarily cooperative transition from the paired two-layer structure to a short segment of nucleo-protein helix.

Virus Assembly and Egress of HSV

2018
The assembly and egress of herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a complicated multistage process that involves several different cellular compartments and the activity of many viral and cellular proteins. The process begins in the nucleus, with capsid assembly followed by genome packaging into the preformed capsids. The DNA-filled capsids (nucleocapsids) then

Virus Assembly and Morphogenesis

1999
This chapter will deal with the assembly of macromolecular complexes, in particular the assembly and dynamics of simple viruses. At first glance this may seem an unusual topic for inclusion in a discussion of morphogenesis and development. As Monod described in his book Chance and Necessity, however, living things can be viewed as having two essential ...

Virus assembly factories in a lipid world

Current Opinion in Virology, 2016
Many viruses build specialized structures known as viral factories, a protected environment in which viral genome replication and morphogenesis take place. Recent findings show that viruses manipulate lipid flows to assemble these replication platforms.

The assembly of papaya mosaic virus protein

Virology, 1976
Abstract Protein isolated from papaya mosaic virus, which is a flexuous virus similar in morphology to potato virus X, will self-assemble into long helical particles in the absence of RNA. The significance of the conditions required for assembly are briefly considered.

Tobacco Mosaic Virus Protein Aggregation and the Virus Assembly

1977
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the structure, functional design of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), protein aggregation, nucleation of assembly, rod elongation, selectivity for viral RNA, and general considerations. TMV is a very infectious high-yielding virus, whose properties have been highly optimized by evolution.
