Characterization and specificity of the linear epitope of the enterovirus 71 VP2 protein [PDF]
BackgroundEnterovirus 71 (EV71) has emerged as a major causative agent of hand, foot and mouth disease in the Asia-Pacific region over the last decade. Hand, foot and mouth disease can be caused by different etiological agents from the enterovirus family,

Serological Cross-Reactions between Expressed VP2 Proteins from Different Bluetongue Virus Serotypes [PDF]
Bluetongue (BT) is a severe and economically important disease of ruminants that is widely distributed around the world, caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV). More than 28 different BTV serotypes have been identified in serum neutralisation tests (SNT), which, along with geographic variants (topotypes) within each serotype, reflect differences in BTV ...

Rotavirus Nonstructural Protein NSP5 Interacts with Major Core Protein VP2 [PDF]
ABSTRACTRotavirus is a nonenveloped virus with a three-layered capsid. The inner layer, made of VP2, encloses the genomic RNA and two minor proteins, VP1 and VP3, with which it forms the viral core. Core assembly is coupled with RNA viral replication and takes place in definite cellular structures termed viroplasms.

Identification of Potential Novel B-Cell Epitopes of Capsid Protein VP2 in Senecavirus A
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a type of nonenveloped single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. The VP2 protein is a structural protein that plays an important role in inducing early and late immune responses of the host.

Myristoylation of budgerigar fledgling disease virus capsid protein VP2 [PDF]
We present evidence that the structural protein VP2 of budgerigar fledgling disease virus, an avian polyomavirus, is specifically modified by covalent attachment of myristic acid. The fatty acid linkage is insensitive to hydroxylamine treatment and thus represents the amide type of fatty acylation of proteins.

Chicken Anemia Virus VP2 Is a Novel Dual Specificity Protein Phosphatase [PDF]
The function of viral protein 2 (VP2) of the immunosuppressive circovirus chicken anemia virus (CAV) has not yet been established. We show that the CAV VP2 amino acid sequence has some similarity to a number of eukaryotic, receptor, protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) alpha proteins as well as to a cluster of human TT viruses within the Sanban group.
