Subviral Agents

Subviral Agents

Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...

Leaky Scanning

Leaky Scanning

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Protein Complex Assembly

Protein Complex Assembly

Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types. Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Viral Structure

Viral Structure

Viruses are extraordinarily diverse in shape and size, but they all have several structural features in common. All viruses have a core that contains a DNA- or RNA-based genome. The core is surrounded by a protective coat of proteins called the capsid. The capsid is composed of subunits called capsomeres. The capsid and genome-containing core are together known as the nucleocapsid.

Conjugated Proteins

Conjugated Proteins

Simple proteins and protein complexes contain only amino acids. In contrast, many other proteins, called conjugated proteins, covalently bond with non-protein moieties.
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

The Journal of General Virology

|March 1, 1981

Summary

Hazara virus, related to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever viruses, has four unique structural proteins. These include three envelope glycoproteins and one nucleocapsid polypeptide, differing significantly from other bunyaviruses.

Area of Science:

Virology
Molecular Biology
Protein Chemistry

Background:

Hazara virus is closely related to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (C-CHF) viruses.
Understanding viral structure is crucial for identifying potential therapeutic targets and understanding viral pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

To characterize the structural polypeptides of Hazara virus.
To compare the structural protein composition of Hazara virus with other bunyaviruses.

Main Methods:

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was employed to resolve viral structural polypeptides.
Molecular weights of identified polypeptides were determined.

Main Results:

Four distinct structural polypeptides were identified in Hazara virus.

Three glycoproteins (84,000, 45,000, and 30,000 Da) were associated with the virion envelope.

A non-glycosylated polypeptide (52,000 Da) was associated with the nucleocapsid.

Conclusions:

The structural protein profile of Hazara virus, including its envelope glycoproteins and nucleocapsid polypeptide, is unique.
Hazara virus structural proteins differ significantly from those reported for other bunyaviruses, suggesting distinct evolutionary or functional adaptations.
