Modelling the self-assembly of virus capsids [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2010
We use computer simulations to study a model, first proposed by Wales [1], for the reversible and monodisperse self-assembly of simple icosahedral virus capsid structures. The success and efficiency of assembly as a function of thermodynamic and geometric factors can be qualitatively related to the potential energy landscape structure of the assembling

Cleavage and Structural Transitions during Maturation of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteriophage 80α and SaPI1 Capsids

open access: yesViruses, 2017
In the tailed bacteriophages, DNA is packaged into spherical procapsids, leading to expansion into angular, thin-walled mature capsids. In many cases, this maturation is accompanied by cleavage of the major capsid protein (CP) and other capsid-associated

Bluetongue virus structure and assembly [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Virology, 2017
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an insect-vectored emerging pathogen of wild ruminants and livestock in many parts of the world. The virion particle is a complex structure of consecutive layers of protein surrounding a genome of ten double-stranded (ds) RNA segments. BTV has been studied as a model system for large, non-enveloped dsRNA viruses.

Efficient production of foot-and-mouth disease virus empty capsids in insect cells following down regulation of 3C protease activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a significant economically and distributed globally pathogen of Artiodactyla. Current vaccines are chemically inactivated whole virus particles that require large-scale virus growth in strict bio-containment with ...

Role of lipids on entry and exit of bluetongue virus, a complex non-enveloped virus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Non-enveloped viruses such as members of Picornaviridae and Reoviridae are assembled in the cytoplasm and are generally released by cell lysis. However, recent evidence suggests that some non-enveloped viruses exit from infected cells without lysis ...

CryoEM of Viral Ribonucleoproteins and Nucleocapsids of Single-Stranded RNA Viruses

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Single-stranded RNA viruses (ssRNAv) are characterized by their biological diversity and great adaptability to different hosts; traits which make them a major threat to human health due to their potential to cause zoonotic outbreaks.

Uukuniemi Phlebovirus assembly and secretion leave a functional imprint on the Virion Glycome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Uukuniemi virus (UUKV) is a model system for investigating the genus Phlebovirus of the Bunyaviridae. We report the UUKV glycome, revealing differential processing of the Gn and Gc virion glycoproteins.

Tomato marchitez virus, a new plant picorna-like virus from tomato related to tomato torrado virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A new virus was isolated from a tomato plant from the state of Sinaloa in Mexico. This plant showed symptoms locally known as `marchitez disease¿: severe leaf necrosis, beginning at the base of the leaflets, and necrotic rings on the fruits.

Physical Virology in Spain

open access: yesBiophysica, 2023
Virus particles consist of a protein coat that protects their genetic material and delivers it to the host cell for self-replication. Understanding the interplay between virus structure and function is a requirement for understanding critical processes ...
