Cryoelectron microscopy and three-dimensional image reconstruction analysis has been used to determine the structure of native and in vitro assembled cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) virions and capsids to 25-A resolution. Purified CCMV coat protein was used in conjunction with in vitro transcribed viral RNAs to assemble RNA 1 only, RNA 2 only, RNA 3/4 only, and empty (RNA lacking) virions. The image reconstructions demonstrate that the in vitro assembled CCMV virions are morphologically…

TLDR
The measurements reveal the complex assembly pathways for viral capsids around RNA in quantitative detail, including the nucleation threshold, nucleation time, growth time, and constraints on the critical nucleus size.
Pseudo-atomic models of swollen CCMV from cryo-electron microscopy data.
Mechanism of capsid assembly for an icosahedral plant virus.
TLDR
A rigorous analysis of assembly of assembly to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, a typical, small, positive-strand RNA virus, finds that the capsid protein readily forms pentamers of dimers in solution, based on polymerization kinetics observed by light scattering.
Electrostatic interaction between RNA and protein capsid in cowpea chlorotic mottle virus simulated by a coarse‐grain RNA model and a Monte Carlo approach
TLDR
A coarse‐grain model and a Monte Carlo method are used to simulate the distribution of viral RNA inside the capsid of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus and show that there is very strong interaction between the N‐terminal residues of the Capsid proteins, which are highly positive charged, and the viral RNA.
Genome organization and interaction with capsid protein in a multipartite RNA virus
TLDR
The genome of a multipartite virus, brome mosaic virus (BMV), is highly disordered and relatively unconstrained within its virion, suggesting a different method of assembly for multipartites viruses compared with well-studied monopartite viruses like MS2 and Qβ with genomes that have been shown to be highly ordered within their capsids.

TLDR
This result establishes that (i) the unexpected pentameric substructure of the hexavalent capsomeres is also present in virions and (ii) the arrangement of the 72 pentamers in the capsid lattice may be a characteristic feature of the entire papova family of viruses.
Virion swelling is not required for cotranslational disassembly of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus in vitro
TLDR
These studies suggest that virion swelling is not required for the cotranslational disassembly of CCMV, and indicate that there is a pH-dependent structural transition in the virion that results in the RNA's being exposed for translation in vitro.
Synthesis, accumulation and encapsidation of individual brome mosaic virus RNA components in barley protoplasts.
TLDR
Analysis of RNA encapsidation and infectivity assays of protoplast homogenates revealed that virion formation was greatest between 10 and 25 h after inoculation, and double-stranded replicative forms of the four virus RNAs were observed.
RNA/protein interactions in icosahedral virus assembly
TLDR
Three model systems in which icosahedral viral assembly is initiated by the viral RNA are examined and it is suggested that binding of capsid protein(s) to a specific RNA structure forms an assembly initiation complex which nucleates the subsequent addition of Capsid protein subunits to form the completed shell.
Quasi-equivalent viruses: a paradigm for protein assemblies.
TLDR
The conclusion suggests that some viral assembly principles are limited paradigms for protein associations occurring in the broader range of cell biology including signal transduction, interaction of transcription factors and protein trafficking.
