| | CDC - Induction of Inflammation by West Nile virus Capsid through the Caspase-9 Apoptotic Pathway |
| | Therefore, creating a WNV isolate that no longer localizes the capsid to the nucleus may result in a virus that loses pathogenesis, providing a novel approach for vaccine studies. | | | Induction of inflammatino by West Nile virus capsid through the caspase-9 apoptotic pathway. | | | These studies demonstrate that the capsid protein of WNV may be responsible for aspects of viral pathogenesis through induction of the apoptotic cascade. |

| | This shape supports the view that packaging begins with procapsids rather than with capsids having the mature, icosahedral structure. | | | Virus and cell membranes then fuse in a process that introduces the capsid into the cytoplasm as shown diagramatically below. | | | VP5 (the major capsid protein) is the structural subunit of the capsomers, both the hexons and the pentons. |

| | One of the most useful techniques proved to be the use of electron-dense dyes such as phosphotungstic acid or uranyl acetate to examine virus particles by negative staining. | | | Therefore, a specific virus-encoded capsid or nucleocapsid protein is required to achieve this end. | | | Like many other aspects of virus assembly, the way in which packaging is controlled is not well understood, but the key must lie in the specific molecular interactions between the genome and the capsid. |

| | Most viral structures are based on the structure of their capsids. | | | Minor changes in the capsid pose significant challenges as well, as an antiviral specified for one structure won’t work on the new capsid structure and must be redeveloped. | | | It is the capsid of the virus that most antiviral medications are designed to attack. |

| | HIV-1 Capsid Assembly is a Step-wise Pathway |
| | Further confirmation of the existence of a pathway for assembly of immature HIV-1 capsids came from analysis of 16 HIV-1 Gag mutants that other groups had identified as being assembly-defective or assembly-competent in mammalian cells. | | | The existence of a step-wise pathway was demonstrated through the use of pulse-chase studies in the cell-free system but assembly intermediates are also found in mammalian cells that are assembling primate lentivirus capsids. | | | Furthermore, we demonstrated that a host factor complex was required for post-translational progression along the capsid assembly pathway. |

| | This self-assembly is often aided by molecular chaperones, or proteins made by the host that help the capsid parts come together. | | | The nucleic acid genome varies among different viruses and may be either DNA, or RNA; single- or double-stranded; linear or circular; and positive or negative sense. | | | This arrangement results in rod-shaped virions which can either be short and rigid or long and flexible; the nature of long helical particles neccessitates flexibility, as they are prone to damage if they are too rigid. |

| | CapsID is useful if you have a good idea of what species your sample is but want to know more specifically. | | | For example, if your sample is a blowfly and believe there are only 20 species of blowfly that it might be, you could choose a gene (or gener fragment ~ 300bp) that is common to most blowflys and relatively conserved(or most species in general) such as ribosomal DNA. | | | CapsID will design the set of CAPS markers that will give the best guess as to which species your sample is when the CAPS are tested on your sample. |
