Versatile post-functionalization of the external shell of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus by using click chemistry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the modification of the outer protein shell of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) with linear and strained alkyne groups. These functionalized protein capsids constitute valuable platforms for post-functionalization via click chemistry. After modification, the integrity of the capsid and the reversible disassembly behavior are preserved.

Assembling Enzymatic Cascade Pathways inside Virus-Based Nanocages Using Dual-Tasking Nucleic Acid Tags
The packaging of proteins into discrete compartments is an essential feature for cellular efficiency. Inspired by Nature, we harness virus-like assemblies as artificial nanocompartments for enzyme-catalyzed cascade reactions. Using the negative charges of nucleic acid tags, we develop a versatile strategy to promote an efficient noncovalent co-encapsulation of enzymes within a single protein ca...
متن کاملNonlinear finite-element analysis of nanoindentation of viral capsids.
Recent atomic force microscope (AFM) nanoindentation experiments measuring mechanical response of the protein shells of viruses have provided a quantitative description of their strength and elasticity. To better understand and interpret these measurements, and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, this paper adopts a course-grained modeling approach within the framework of three-dimensional ...

The four components of the genome of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus have been prepared in a highly active and highly purified state by a method based on their resolution by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Activity and purity have been confirmed by gel electrophoresis under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions, infectivity tests on whole plants, translation in an mRNA dependent rabbit ret...
متن کاملEfficient purification of bromoviruses by ultrafiltration.
Ultrafiltration using polyethersulfone-membranes was evaluated as an efficient and preferred method for purifying Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus (CCMV). Cesium chloride (CsCl) ultracentrifugation and ultrafiltration protocols are described, and comparative UV-spectroscopic and electron micrograph results are presented. CCMV purified by ultrafiltration are shown to be equivalent to CCMV purified ...
متن کاملThe structure of cucumber mosaic virus and comparison to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus.
The structure of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV; strain Fny) has been determined to a 3.2-A resolution using X-ray crystallography. Despite the fact that CMV has only 19% capsid protein sequence identity (34% similarity) to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), the core structures of these two members of the Bromoviridae family are highly homologous. As suggested by a previous low-resolution struct...
