Crystals of Rous sarcoma virus capsid protein show a helical arrangement of protein subunits.

Three-dimensional structure of the M-MuLV CA protein on a lipid monolayer: a general model for retroviral capsid assembly.

Although retroviruses from different genera form morphologically distinct capsids, we have proposed that all of these structures are composed of similar hexameric arrays of capsid (CA) protein subunits and that their distinct morphologies reflect different distributions of pentameric declinations that allow the structures to close. Consistent with this model, CA proteins from both HIV-1 and Rou...

Dimeric rous sarcoma virus capsid protein structure relevant to immature Gag assembly.

The structure of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) capsid protein (CA), with an upstream 25 amino acid residue extension corresponding to the C-terminal portion of the Gag p10 protein, has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Purified Gag proteins of retroviruses can assemble in vitro into virus-like particles closely resembling in vivo-assembled immature virus partic...

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

Core-controlled polymorphism in virus-like particles.

This study concerns the self-assembly of virus-like particles (VLPs) composed of an icosahedral virus protein coat encapsulating a functionalized spherical nanoparticle core. The recent development of efficient methods for VLP self-assembly has opened the way to structural studies. Using electron microscopy with image reconstruction, the structures of several VLPs obtained from brome mosaic vir...

Studies on Amino Acid Incorporation into Protein of Tumors Induced by Rous Sarcoma Virus and Hyperplasia Induced by Fowl Pox Virus in Chorioallantoic Membrane of Chicken Embryos.

Comparisons were made of the rate of incorporation of C'4-labeled L-arnino acids into protein of chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) infected with viruses that induce cell proliferation. A tumor virus (Rous sarcoma virus) and a nontumor virus (fowl pox virus) were used in these studies. In ovo studies of glycine-C14 incor poration into the protein of Rous sarcoma virus-induced tumors ...
