Assembly of hepatitis delta virus-like empty particles in yeast.
Large delta antigen (L-HDAg) of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and small-form hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) of helper hepatitis B virus have previously been shown to be the minimum components for the assembly of HDV-like particles in mammalian cells. Extending from this finding, we coexpressed L-HDAg and small HBsAg in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study their assembly in yeast cells. The asse...
متن کاملExpression and self-assembly of empty virus-like particles of hepatitis E virus.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a pathogenic agent that causes fecally-orally transmitted acute hepatitis. The genome, a single-stranded positive-sense RNA, encodes three forward open reading frames (ORFs), in which an approximately 2-kb structural protein is located in the 3' end. To produce HEV-like particles the structural protein, with its N terminus truncated (amino acid residues 112 to 660 of ...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus capsid assembly Assembly pathway of hepatitis B core virus-like particles from genetically fused dimers
Background: We studied assembly of HBV capsids using a genetically-fused dimer. Results: Assembly intermediates composed of two, three and five copies of a fused dimer have been isolated. Conclusion: Capsid assembly could progress using dimeric, trimeric and pentameric intermediates. Significance: The low abundance and transient nature of assembly intermediates make analysis challenging, howeve...
متن کاملEnvelope proteins derived from naturally integrated hepatitis B virus DNA support assembly and release of infectious hepatitis delta virus particles.
UNLABELLED A natural subviral agent of human hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis delta virus (HDV), requires only the envelope proteins from HBV in order to maintain persistent infection. HBV surface antigens (HBsAgs) can be produced either by HBV replication or from integrated HBV DNA regardless of replication. The functional properties of the integrant-generated HBsAgs were examined using two ...
متن کاملexpression of cucumber mosaic virus coat protein and its assembly into virus like particles
background cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) has isometric particles with a diameter of about 28–29 nm. a useful method to recognize regions from mutagenesis in the coat protein (cp) gene are important for particle assembly and the expression of viral in cp expression systems like bacteria such as e.coli or yeast as well as their assembly into virus-like particles (vlp). objectives in this paper, we ...
