This paper describes the crystal structure of a representative of a new group of plant viruses that are related to comoviruses and belong to the picornavirus family. The 60 coat protein molecules each have three β-sandwich-type domains connected by linker segments. The similar coat protein molecules of picornaviruses, like poliovirus, are synthesized as polyproteins, which are cleaved by a viral protease before assembly, but in the tobacco ringspot virus, no cleavage occurs.

This is the largest object (the protein shell has 900 protein subunits with a total molecular weight of 42 MDa) to have been solved to a resolution allowing an atomic model to be built.

Crystal structures of intact Flock House virus virions and virus-like particles formed by coat proteins from an expression system show no significant differences. This paper shows that such particles have widely different properties regarding susceptibility to proteases, which demonstrates that the crystal structures might have little relevance for understanding the flexibility of viral capsids.

J Mol Biol. 270:1997;724-738. The crystal structures of two complexes between protein capsids and specifically bound RNA stem-loops show that the higher binding affinity is due to an internal hydrogen bond within the RNA molecule.

Mutants of Flock House virus are shown to form apparently normal particles, but they lack the viral capability for packaging the viral RNA. Three phenylalanine residues are shown to be important for the specific recognition of the viral RNA. These are found in the γ peptide, which is formed at the maturation cleavage.

The 1.8 Å resolution structure of satellite tobacco mosaic virus, a small T = 1 virus, shows the arrangement of a large proportion of the viral RNA as double-stranded segments interacting with the protein at all equivalent positions of the icosahedral capsid.

The folding of the capsid protein of bacteriophage T4 requires the presence of the gp31 protein, which replaces bacterial GroES in the complex with chaperonin GroEL. The crystal structure shows that gp31 is similar to GroES, but the gp31-GroEL complex can accommodate the T4 coat protein, which is larger than the proteins that are folded with the assistance of the GroEL-GroES bacterial complex.

Biophys J. 74:1998;546-558. Association energies calculated using CHARMM were used to find likely assembly pathways for the black beetle virus, southern bean mosaic virus and human rhinovirus 14. The contributions of individual residues were calculated, allowing the possibility of testing the prediction by mutagenesis.

Two-dimensional crystals of phage Φ29 connectors are shown to possess the expected 12-fold symmetry.

The removal of a peptide segment that is ordered in the 'flat' subunit contact leads to the production of normal T = 3 particles (and irregular structures), indicating that this segment is not required for correct subunit packing.
36. Axblom C, Tars K, Fridborg K, Orna L, Bundule M, Liljas L Structure of phage fr capsids with a deletion in the FG loop: implications for viral assembly. Virology. 249:1998;80-88. The small (T = 3) RNA phages have no obvious order/disorder switches to control their assembly. A loop forming contacts at fivefold and quasi-sixfold axes has widely different conformations that are dependent upon its position. This paper describes the crystal structure of a mutant of a small RNA phage, in which a significant portion of this loop has been removed without any effects on the subunit packing, suggesting that this loop is not crucial for assembly.

J Virol. 71:1997;9743-9752. Crystal structures of empty capsids of a foot-and-mouth disease virus strain suggest that the mechanism leading to the cleavage of VP0 into VP4 and VP2 is similar to that suggested for poliovirus.
