Conformational changes in the capsid of a calicivirus upon interaction with its functional receptor.
Nonenveloped viral capsids are metastable structures that undergo conformational changes during virus entry that lead to interactions of the capsid or capsid fragments with the cell membrane. For members of the Caliciviridae, neither the nature of these structural changes in the capsid nor the factor(s) responsible for inducing these changes is known. Feline junctional adhesion molecule A (fJAM...
متن کاملCryoEM analysis of capsid assembly and structural changes upon interactions with a host restriction factor, TRIM5α.
After virus fusion with a target cell, the viral core is released into the host cell cytoplasm and undergoes a controlled disassembly process, termed uncoating, before or as reverse transcription takes place. The cellular protein TRIM5α is a host cell restriction factor that blocks HIV-1 infection in rhesus macaque cells by targeting the viral capsid and inducing premature uncoating. The molecu...
متن کاملLattice Transformations and Subunit Conformational Changes in Phage Capsid Maturation
A general feature of the pathways for the assembly of double-stranded DNA phages and viruses is the assembly of coat and scaffolding subunits into a precursor shell or procapsid, followed by packaging of the genomic DNA into the shell. Coupled to this DNA packaging process is the loss of the scaffolding subunits and expansion and re-organization of the procapsid lattice to the lattice of the ma...
متن کاملCell entry-associated conformational changes in reovirus particles are controlled by host protease activity.
Membrane penetration by reovirus requires successive formation of two cell entry intermediates, infectious subvirion particles (ISVPs) and ISVP*s. In vitro incubation of reovirus virions with high concentration of chymotrypsin (CHT) results in partial digestion of the viral outer capsid to form ISVPs. When virions are instead digested with low concentrations of chymotrypsin, the outer capsid is...
متن کاملPrediction of stability changes upon mutation in an icosahedral capsid
Identifying the contributions to thermodynamic stability of capsids is of fundamental and practical importance. Here we use simulation to assess how mutations affect the stability of lumazine synthase from the hyperthermophile Aquifex aeolicus, a T = 1 icosahedral capsid; in the simulations the icosahedral symmetry of the capsid is preserved by simulating a single pentamer and imposing crystal ...
