Expression 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 کاملAssembly 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 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 ...
متن کاملCharacterization of self-assembled virus-like particles of rat hepatitis E virus generated by recombinant baculoviruses
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a causative agent of hepatitis E. Recently, a novel hepatitis E-like virus was isolated from Norway rats in Germany. However, the antigenicity, pathogenicity and epidemiology of this virus are unclear because of the lack of a cell-culture system in which to grow it. In this study, an N-terminally truncated ORF2 protein was expressed in insect Tn5 cells using a recombi...
متن کاملAssembly of Empty Core-like Particles and Double-shelled, Virus-like Particles of African Horsesickness Virus by Co-expression of Four Major Structural Proteins
In order to increase our understanding of the assembly of the capsid proteins of AHSV, for the development of subunit vaccines and to study viral morphogenesis, it is necessary to investigate the interaction of the four major structural proteins of AHSV in the absence of other AHSV proteins and the viral genome. To investigate particle formation it was necessary to synthesise the proteins of in...
