A quasi-atomic model of human adenovirus type 5 capsid.
Adenoviruses infect a wide range of vertebrates including humans. Their icosahedral capsids are composed of three major proteins: the trimeric hexon forms the facets and the penton, a noncovalent complex of the pentameric penton base and trimeric fibre proteins, is located at the 12 capsid vertices. Several proteins (IIIa, VI, VIII and IX) stabilise the capsid. We have obtained a 10 A resolutio...
متن کاملComplementation of human adenovirus type 5 ts mutants by human adenovirus type 12.
Temperature-sensitive mutants of type 5 adenovirus belonging to eight complementation groups were complemented in mixed infection by type 12 adenovirus, whereas mutants of 7 other groups were not enhanced. In some crosses, phenotypic mixing took place. No evidence of recombination between type 5 ts mutants and type 12 was found.
متن کاملAtomic model of the papillomavirus capsid.
Papillomaviruses propagate in differentiating skin cells, and certain types are responsible for the onset of cervical cancer. We have combined image reconstructions from electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) of bovine papillomavirus at 9 A resolution with coordinates from the crystal structure of small virus-like particles of the human papillomavirus type 16 L1 protein to generate an atomic model of...
متن کاملStructure of Type 5 Adenovirus
Type 5 adenovirus was purified by fluorocarbon (freon 113) treatment followed by banding in a CsCl equilibrium density gradient. This method permitted separation of virus from normal host cell materials and virus-specific soluble antigens. Virus banded in CsCl with a mean bouyant density of 1.3349 gm/cm(3). The three virus-specific soluble antigens (group- and type-specific antigens and toxin) ...
متن کاملNovel adenovirus vectors 'capsid-displaying' a human complement inhibitor.
Adenovirus (Ad) vectors are currently the most commonly utilized gene transfer vectors in humans worldwide. Unfortunately, upon contact with the circulatory system, Ads induce several, innate, complement-dependent toxicities that limit the full potential for Ad-based gene transfer applications. Therefore, we have constructed several novel Ad5-based vectors, 'capsid-displaying' as fiber or pIX f...
