Cloning and Codon-optimized Expression of Structural Protein Hypervariable Region of VP2 from Infectious Bursal Disease Virus

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of Gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. Structural protein VP2 of IBDV is the most frequently studied protein due to its significant roles in virus attachment, protective immunity, and serotype specificity. The objective of the present study was to improve the expression of hypervariable re...

Nucleotide Sequence of Gene Encoding Capsid Protein VPI of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus / Type O1 Iran

Norwalk Virus Minor Capsid Protein VP2 Associates within the VP1 Shell Domain.

The major capsid protein of norovirus VP1 assembles to form an icosahedral viral particle. Despite evidence that the Norwalk virus (NV) minor structural protein VP2 is present in infectious virions, the available crystallographic and electron cryomicroscopy structures of NV have not revealed the location of VP2. In this study, we determined that VP1 associates with VP2 at the interior surface o...

Agnoprotein-1a of avian polyomavirus budgerigar fledgling disease virus: identification of phosphorylation sites and functional importance in the virus life-cycle.

The avian polyomavirus budgerigar fledgling disease virus (BFDV) encodes an unusual set of four agnoproteins in its late upstream region. Of the two pairs of these proteins, which overlap each other in two different reading frames, the p(L1)-promoted agnoprotein-1a (agno-1a) is the dominant species and is able to support virus propagation in the absence of the other three polypeptides. Viral BF...
