Dispensability of 3' tRNA-like sequence for packaging cowpea chlorotic mottle virus genomic RNAs.
The 3' ends of three genomic RNAs (gRNAs) of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) terminate in a highly conserved tRNA-like structure (3'TLS). To examine the intrinsic role played the 3'TLS in packaging, the competence of each gRNA lacking the 3' TLS (DeltaTLS-gRNA) to interact with dissociated coat protein (CP) subunits and form virions was assayed in vitro. In contrast to the well established...
متن کاملFeasibility of Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus-like particles as scaffold for epitope presentations
BACKGROUND & METHODS Within the last decade Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) have increasingly received attention from scientists for their use as a carrier of (peptide) molecules or as scaffold to present epitopes for use in subunit vaccines. To test the feasibility of Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) particles as a scaffold for epitope presentation and identify sites for epitope fusion or inse...
متن کاملThe structure of cucumber mosaic virus and comparison to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus.
The structure of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV; strain Fny) has been determined to a 3.2-A resolution using X-ray crystallography. Despite the fact that CMV has only 19% capsid protein sequence identity (34% similarity) to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), the core structures of these two members of the Bromoviridae family are highly homologous. As suggested by a previous low-resolution struct...
متن کاملAn Improved Method for the Preparation of the Four Ribonucleic Acids of Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus
The four components of the genome of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus have been prepared in a highly active and highly purified state by a method based on their resolution by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Activity and purity have been confirmed by gel electrophoresis under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions, infectivity tests on whole plants, translation in an mRNA dependent rabbit ret...
متن کاملVirion swelling is not required for cotranslational disassembly of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus in vitro.
The mechanism by which virions of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) disassemble and allow for translation of the virion RNA is not well understood. Previous models have suggested that virion swelling is required to expose the virion RNA for translation in a process referred to as cotranslational disassembly (M. Brisco, R. Hull, and T. M. A. Wilson, Virology 148:210-217, 1986; J. W. Roenhorst...
