| dc.description.abstract | The structural organization of viral particles is among the most astonishing examples of molecular self-assembly in nature, involving proteins, nucleic acids, and, sometimes, lipids. Proper assembly is essential to produce well structured infectious virions. A great variety of structural arrangements can be found in viral particles. Nucleocapsids, for instance, may display highly ordered geometric shapes or consist in macroscopically amorphous packs of the viral genome. Alphavirus and flavivirus are viral genera that exemplify these extreme cases, the former comprising viral particles structured with a T=4 icosahedral symmetry, whereas flavivirus capsids have no regular geometry. Dengue virus is a member of flavivirus genus and is used in this article to illustrate how viral protein-derived peptides can be used advantageously over full-length proteins to unravel the foundations of viral supramolecular assemblies. Membrane- and viral RNA-binding data of capsid protein-derived dengue virus peptides are used to explain the amorphous organization of the viral capsid. Our results combine bioinformatic and spectroscopic approaches using two- or three-component peptide and/or nucleic acid and/or lipid systems. | eng |
