A 3D model of the membrane protein complex formed by the white spot syndrome virus structural proteins. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Outbreaks of white spot disease have had a large negative economic impact on cultured shrimp worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of the causative virus, WSSV (whit spot syndrome virus), is not yet well understood.

Rotavirus 993/83, isolated from calf faeces, closely resembles an avian rotavirus [PDF]
Polypeptides from purified virions of the calf rotavirus (RV) isolate 993/83 and those from the pigeon RV isolate PO-13 comigrated on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Two polypeptides of 45K and 47K were detected at the position of VP6.

Expression and Functional Characterization of Bluetongue Virus VP5 Protein: Role in Cellular Permeabilization [PDF]
ABSTRACT Segment 5 of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 10, which encodes the outer capsid protein VP5, was tagged with glutathione S -transferase and expressed by a recombinant baculovirus. The recombinant protein was subsequently purified to homogeneity, and its possible biological role in virus infection ...
