Packaging accessory protein P7 and polymerase P2 have mutually occluding binding sites inside the bacteriophage 6 procapsid.
Bacteriophage 6 is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus whose genome is packaged sequentially as three single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) segments into an icosahedral procapsid which serves as a compartment for genome replication and transcription. The procapsid shell consists of 60 copies each of P1(A) and P1(B), two nonequivalent conformers of the P1 protein. Hexamers of the packaging ATPase P4 are m...
متن کاملDependence of minus-strand synthesis on complete genomic packaging in the double-stranded RNA bacteriophage phi 6.
Bacteriophage phi 6 has a segmented genome consisting of three pieces of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The viral procapsid is the structure that packages plus strands, synthesizes the complementary negative strands to form dsRNA, and then transcribes dsRNA to form plus-strand message. The minus-strand synthesis of a particular genomic segment is dependent on prior packaging of the other segments...
متن کاملProtein P4 of the bacteriophage phi 6 procapsid has a nucleoside triphosphate-binding site with associated nucleoside triphosphate phosphohydrolase activity.
Bacteriophage phi 6 contains three segments of double-stranded RNA. The procapsid consists of proteins P1, P2, P4, and P7, which are encoded by the viral L segment. cDNA copies of this segment have been cloned into plasmids that direct the production of these proteins, which assemble into polyhedral procapsids. These procapsids are capable of packaging plus-sense phi 6 RNA in the presence of nu...
متن کاملSubassemblies and Asymmetry in Assembly of Herpes Simplex Virus Procapsid
UNLABELLED The herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) capsid is a massive particle (~200 MDa; 1,250-Å diameter) with T=16 icosahedral symmetry. It initially assembles as a procapsid with ~4,000 protein subunits of 11 different kinds. The procapsid undergoes major changes in structure and composition as it matures, a process driven by proteolysis and expulsion of the internal scaffolding protein. Assemb...
