The allosteric switching mechanism in bacteriophage MS2.
We use all-atom simulations to elucidate the mechanisms underlying conformational switching and allostery within the coat protein of the bacteriophage MS2. Assembly of most icosahedral virus capsids requires that the capsid protein adopts different conformations at precise locations within the capsid. It has been shown that a 19 nucleotide stem loop (TR) from the MS2 genome acts as an allosteri...
متن کاملMolecular interactions in the RNA bacteriophage MS2.
The simple RNA bacteriophages of E.coli have long been used as ideal model systems in which the details of RNA replication, translation and the control of gene expression can be studied in molecular detail’.’. In particular, the translational repression of the phage replicase cistron by coat protein subunits has attracted a great deal of attention and this has become a paradigm for sequence-spe...
متن کاملInteraction of some factors in the mechanism of inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 in aerosols.
The mechanisms involving inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 in aerosols and the effect of protective substances in the spray-medium were studied after spraying from various NaCl solutions. Results with aerosols generated from the salt solutions showed that with higher salt concentration in the spray-medium higher concentrations of protective substances were needed to protect phage MS2 against ae...
متن کاملMechanism of inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 containing single-stranded RNA by ascorbic acid.
The mechanism of inactivation of a single-stranded RNA phage, MS2, by AsA was investigated as a part of the studies on the mechanism of inactivation of viruses by AsA. Investigations on the effects of oxygen, oxidizing or reducing agents, metals or chelating agents, and free radical scavengers on the inactivation of the RNA phage by AsA indicated that the free radical intermediates formed durin...
متن کاملMechanism of translational coupling between coat protein and replicase genes of RNA bacteriophage MS2.
We have analyzed the molecular mechanism that makes translation of the MS2 replicase cistron dependent on the translation of the upstream coat cistron. Deletion mapping on cloned cDNA of the phage shows that the ribosomal binding site of the replicase cistron is masked by a long distance basepairing to an internal coat cistron region. Removal of the internal coat cistron region leads to uncoupl...
