Abstract excerpt
The hamster polyomavirus major capsid protein VP1 was modified in its carboxy-terminal region by consecutive truncations and single amino acid exchanges. The ability of yeast-expressed VP1 variants to form virus-like particles (VLPs) strongly depended on the size and position of the truncation. VP1 variants lacking 21, 69, and 79 amino acid (aa) residues in their carboxy-terminal region efficiently formed VLPs...
