Identification of the NLS and NES motifs of VP2 from chicken anemia virus and the interaction of VP2 with mini-chromosome maintenance protein 3 [PDF]
Background VP2 of chicken anemia virus (CAV) is a dual-specificity phosphatase required for virus infection, assembly and replication. The functions of the nuclear localization signal (NLS) and nuclear export signal (NES) of VP2 in the cell, however, are

Mutational analysis of human norovirus VP2 elucidates critical molecular interactions for virus assembly [PDF]
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis, with ≥80% of infections caused by the GII genogroup. HuNoVs are non-enveloped, with an icosahedral capsid composed of 90 dimers of the major capsid protein VP1, which encloses a ...

Preliminary Study of Radioiodination of VP2
The VP2 peptide specifically binding to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1(VPAC1) receptor was radioiodinated with 131I by bi-functional linker N-succinimidyl 5-(tributylstannyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate (SPC), and in vitro and in vivo stability ...

Interaction of polyomavirus internal protein VP2 with the major capsid protein VP1 and implications for participation of VP2 in viral entry [PDF]
A complex of the polyomavirus internal protein VP2/VP3 with the pentameric major capsid protein VP1 has been prepared by co-expression in Escherichia coli. A C-terminal segment of VP2/VP3 is required for tight association, and a crystal structure of this segment, complexed with a VP1 pentamer, has been determined at 2.2 A resolution.

Conserved rotavirus NSP5 and VP2 domains interact and affect viroplasm [PDF]
One step of the life cycle common among all rotaviruses (RV) studied so far is the formation of viroplasms, membrane-less cytosolic inclusions providing a microenvironment for early morphogenesis and RNA replication.

Chicken infectious anemia virus exploits host CK2α as an essential factor for its replication via VP2 Ser182/Asp183-mediated interaction [PDF]
Chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) induces severe immunosuppression in chickens. The nonstructural protein VP2 of CIAV is shown to play critical roles in viral assembly and viral replication.

Development of a virtual phantom for HDR cervical cancer brachytherapy: A multi‐institutional tool for training, quality assurance, and variability reduction [PDF]
Background High‐dose‐rate brachytherapy (HDR‐BT) is a critical modality in the treatment of cervical cancer, requiring accurate and efficient treatment planning. Unlike external beam radiation therapy, HDR‐BT demands specialized skills and training.
