Virus assembly: Imaging a molecular machine [PDF]
Current Biology, 1999 A recent structural study of a double-stranded DNA bacteriophage has provided remarkable new insights into the assembly of a complex virus particle and ushers in a new era in the imaging of non-icosahedral viruses.

Hepatitis E Virus Assembly and Release [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 Hepatitis E is an underestimated threat to public health, caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). HEV is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis in the world, with no available direct-acting antiviral treatment. According to a recent WHO report, 20 million people become infected with HEV annually, resulting in 44,000 deaths.

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.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

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 ...

Editorial: Role of lipids in virus assembly [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Viruses utilize cellular lipids during critical steps of replication like entry, assembly, and egress. Growing evidence indicate important roles for lipids and lipid nanodomains in virus assembly. This special topic covers key aspects of virus-membrane interactions during assembly and egress of two classes, retroviruses and filoviruses.
