Development of sesbania mosaic virus nanoparticles for imaging

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...

Intracellular delivery of antibodies by chimeric Sesbania mosaic virus (SeMV) virus like particles.

The therapeutic potential of antibodies has not been fully exploited as they fail to cross cell membrane. In this article, we have tested the possibility of using plant virus based nanoparticles for intracellular delivery of antibodies. For this purpose, Sesbania mosaic virus coat protein (CP) was genetically engineered with the B domain of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) at the βH-βI loo...

"Natively unfolded" VPg is essential for Sesbania mosaic virus serine protease activity.

Polyprotein processing is a major strategy used by many plant and animal viruses to maximize the number of protein products obtainable from a single open reading frame. In Sesbania mosaic virus, open reading frame-2 codes for a polyprotein that is cleaved into different functional proteins in cis by the N-terminal serine protease domain. The soluble protease domain lacking 70-amino-acid residue...

Determination of the structure of the recombinant T = 1 capsid of Sesbania mosaic virus

The recombinant coat protein (CP) of Sesbania mosaic virus lacking segments of different lengths from the N-terminus expressed in E. coli was shown to selfassemble into a variety of distinct capsids encapsidating 23S rRNA from the host and CP mRNA in vivo. Particles with 60 copies (T = 1) of protein subunits were observed when protein lacking 65 amino acids from the N-terminus was expressed. Th...
