Mechanism of scaffolding-directed virus assembly suggested by comparison of scaffolding-containing and scaffolding-lacking P22 procapsids.
Assembly of certain classes of bacterial and animal viruses requires the transient presence of molecules known as scaffolding proteins, which are essential for the assembly of the precursor procapsid. To assemble a procapsid of the proper size, each viral coat subunit must adopt the correct quasiequivalent conformation from several possible choices, depending upon the T number of the capsid. In...
متن کاملAssembly by Intelligent Scaffolding
We propose a novel class of algorithms for autonomously assembling structures from inert building blocks guided by intelligent scaffolding components. Intelligent scaffold units are equipped with sensing, actuation, computation and communication abilities and facilitate the attachment of inert building blocks to the structure. After attaching an inert building block, the scaffold structure reco...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of multi-component spherical virus assembly: scaffolding protein contributes to the global stability of phage P22 procapsids.
Assembly of the hundreds of subunits required to form an icosahedral virus must proceed with exquisite fidelity, and is a paradigm for the self-organization of complex macromolecular structures. However, the mechanism for capsid assembly is not completely understood for any virus. Here we have investigated the in vitro assembly of phage P22 procapsids using a quantitative model specifically dev...
متن کاملComputational support for a scaffolding mechanism of centriole assembly
Centrioles are essential for forming cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Successful centriole assembly requires proteins of the SAS-6 family, which can form oligomeric ring structures with ninefold symmetry in vitro. While important progress has been made in understanding SAS-6 protein biophysics, the mechanisms enabling ring formation in vivo remain elusive. Likewise, the mechanisms by which a na...
متن کاملScaffolding Moves by Learners in Online Interactions
Learners can collaborate with each other to achieve a lesson objective. In the collaboration, they can provide each other with guidance in order to identify mistakes and improve their achievements. With the rise of online instructions, this small-scale exploratory study aimed to see how proficient learners guided their less proficient classmates in correcting the grammatical accuracy of sentenc...
