Hydroxyproline in the major capsid protein VP1 of polyomavirus.
Amino acid analysis of [3H]proline-labeled polyomavirus major capsid protein VP1 by two-dimensional paper chromatography of the acid-hydrolyzed protein revealed the presence of 3H-labeled hydroxyproline. Addition of the proline analog L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid to infected mouse kidney cell cultures prevented or greatly reduced hydroxylation of proline in VP1. Immunofluorescence analysis per...
متن کاملVirion assembly defect of polyomavirus hr-t mutants: underphosphorylation of major capsid protein VP1 before viral DNA encapsidation.
The major capsid protein of polyomavirus, VP1, was separated into at least four subspecies by isoelectric focusing. One of these subspecies was selectively extracted from purified virions by mild treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate, leaving a 140S particle enriched in the other three forms. The two most acidic subspecies were labeled in vivo with [32P]phosphate, and these subspecies are among...
متن کاملInteraction of polyomavirus internal protein VP2 with the major capsid protein VP1 and implications for participation of VP2 in viral entry.
A complex of the polyomavirus internal protein VP2/VP3 with the pentameric major capsid protein VP1 has been prepared by co-expression in Escherichia coli. A C-terminal segment of VP2/VP3 is required for tight association, and a crystal structure of this segment, complexed with a VP1 pentamer, has been determined at 2.2 A resolution. The structure shows specific contacts between a single copy o...
متن کاملThe Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Minor Capsid Protein
The surface of polyomavirus virions is composed of pentameric knobs of the major capsid protein, VP1. In previously studied polyomavirus species, such as SV40, two interior capsid proteins, VP2 and VP3, emerge from the virion to play important roles during the infectious entry process. Translation of the VP3 protein initiates at a highly conserved Met-Ala-Leu motif within the VP2 open reading f...
متن کاملHigh Cooperativity of the SV40 Major Capsid Protein VP1 in Virus Assembly
SV40 is a small, non enveloped DNA virus with an icosahedral capsid of 45 nm. The outer shell is composed of pentamers of the major capsid protein, VP1, linked via their flexible carboxy-terminal arms. Its morphogenesis occurs by assembly of capsomers around the viral minichromosome. However the steps leading to the formation of mature virus are poorly understood. Intermediates of the assembly ...
