摘要

To investigate the role of protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions in virus assembly, we compared the stabilities of native bacteriophage MS2, virus-like particles (VLPs) containing nonviral RNAs, and an assembly-defective coat protein mutant (dlFG) and its single-chain variant (sc-dlFG). Physical (high pressure) and chemical (urea and guanidine hydrochloride) agents were used to promote virus disassembly and protein denaturation, and the changes in virus and protein structure were monitored by measuring tryptophan intrinsic fluorescence, bis-ANS probe fluorescence, and light scattering. We found that VLPs dissociate into capsid proteins that remain folded and more stable than the proteins dissociated from authentic particles. The proposed model is that the capsid disassembles but the protein remains bound to the heterologous RNA encased by VLPs. The dlFG dimerizes correctly.. but fails to assemble into capsids, because it lacks the 15-amino acid FG loop involved in inter-dimer interactions at the viral fivefold and quasi-sixfold axes. This protein was very unstable and, when compared with the dissociation/denaturation of the VLPs and the wild-type virus, it was much more susceptible to chemical and physical perturbation. Genetic fusion of the two subunits of the dimer in the single-chain dinner sc-dlFG stabilized the protein, as did the presence of 34-bp poly(GC) DNA. These Studies reveal mechanisms by which interactions in the capsid lattice can be sufficiently stable and specific to ensure assembly, and they shed light on the processes that lead to the formation of infectious viral particles.
