Rescue of infectious particles from preassembled alphavirus nucleocapsid cores.

Alphaviruses are small, spherical, enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded, RNA viruses responsible for considerable human and animal disease. Using microinjection of preassembled cores as a tool, a system has been established to study the assembly and budding process of Sindbis virus, the type member of the alphaviruses. We demonstrate the release of infectious virus-like particles from cel...

In vitro-assembled alphavirus core-like particles maintain a structure similar to that of nucleocapsid cores in mature virus.

In vitro-assembled core-like particles produced from alphavirus capsid protein and nucleic acid were studied by cryoelectron microscopy. These particles were found to have a diameter of 420 A with 240 copies of the capsid protein arranged in a T=4 icosahedral surface lattice, similar to the nucleocapsid core in mature virions. However, when the particles were subjected to gentle purification pr...

In vitro assembly of alphavirus cores by using nucleocapsid protein expressed in Escherichia coli.

The production of the alphavirus virion is a multistep event requiring the assembly of the nucleocapsid core in the cytoplasm and the maturation of the glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. These components associate during the budding process to produce the mature virion. The nucleocapsid proteins of Sindbis virus and Ross River virus have been produced in a T7-ba...

Alphavirus Nucleocapsid Packaging and Assembly

Alphavirus nucleocapsids are assembled in the cytoplasm of infected cells from 240 copies of the capsid protein and the approximately 11 kb positive strand genomic RNA. However, the challenge of how the capsid specifically selects its RNA package and assembles around it has remained an elusive one to solve. In this review, we will summarize what is known about the alphavirus capsid protein, the...

Alphavirus spike-nucleocapsid interaction and network antibodies.

Vaux et al. (D. J. T. Vaux, A. Helenius, and I. Mellman, Nature (London) 336:36-42, 1988) recently reported the production of network antibodies that were suggested to have reconstructed a specific interaction between the nucleocapsid of Semliki Forest virus and the cytoplasmic tail of the viral E2 spike protein. The F13 anti-idiotype antibody, which was raised against anti-E2 tail antibodies, ...
