Major and Minor Capsid Proteins of Human Polyomavirus JC Cooperatively Accumulate to Nuclear Domain 10 for Assembly into Virions

Abstract excerpt

The human polyomavirus JC (JCV) replicates in the nuclei of infected cells. Here we report that JCV virions are efficiently assembled at nuclear domain 10 (ND10), which is also known as promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies. The major capsid protein VP1, the minor capsid proteins VP2 and VP3, and a regulatory protein called agnoprotein were coexpressed from a polycistronic expression vector in COS-7 cells....
