Abstract excerpt
When expressed in Escherichia coli, the recombinant coat protein (rCP) of Sesbania mosaic virus (SeMV) was shown to self-assemble into T = 3 capsids encapsidating CP mRNA and 23S rRNA derived from the host. Expression of CP-P53A, in which a conserved proline at position 53 in the beta-annulus was substituted by alanine (CP-P53A), also produced similar capsids. Purified rCP and CP-P53A particles were crystallized...
