Modelling the self-assembly of virus capsids [PDF]

Journal 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

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

, 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 ...

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

Viruses, 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

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

, 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 Hepatitis C Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E1 in Virus Entry and Assembly

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) glycoproteins E1 and E2 form a heterodimer to constitute viral envelope proteins, which play an essential role in virus entry. E1 does not directly interact with host receptors, and its functions in viral entry are exerted mostly ...

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

Viruses, 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]

, 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.

Physical Virology in Spain

Biophysica, 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 ...

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

, 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.
