Electrostatic properties of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus and cucumber mosaic virus capsids

The 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...

Replication and Properties of Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus in Resistant Cowpeas

WYATT, S. D., and C. W. KUHN. 1979. Replication and properties of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus in resistant cowpeas. Phytopathology 69:125129. Although cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) caused no symptoms pool of RNA formed soon after inoculation. Several properties of CCMV on cowpea P1 186465, virus could be isolated from the inoculated primary produced in the resistant plants were similar...

Synergistic effects of mutations and nanoparticle templating in the self-assembly of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus capsids.

A study of the in vitro nanoparticle-templated assembly of a mutant of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus lacking most of the N-terminal domain (residues 4-37), NDelta34, is presented. Mutant empty proteins assemble into empty capsids with a much broader distribution of sizes than the wild-type virus. This increased flexibility in the assembly outcomes is known to be detrimental for the assembly pro...
