nucleocapsid

Examples of nucleocapsid in the following topics:

• Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection

  • N encodes the nucleocapsid protein that associates with the genomic RNA forming the nucleocapsid.

• RNA Bacteriophages

  • Φ6 and its relatives have a lipid membrane around their nucleocapsid, a rare trait among bacteriophages.
  • The muralytic (peptidoglycan-digesting) enzyme, P5, then digests a portion of the cell wall, and the nucleocapsid enters the cell coated with the bacterial outer membrane.

• Nature of the Virion

  • Proteins associated with nucleic acid are known as nucleoproteins, and the association of viral capsid proteins with viral nucleic acid is called a nucleocapsid.

• Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus

  • Here, concatemers of the viral genome are separated by cleavage and are placed into pre-formed nucleocapsids.

• General Morphology

  • Proteins associated with nucleic acid are known as nucleoproteins, and the association of viral capsid proteins with viral nucleic acid is called a nucleocapsid.

• Double-Stranded DNA Viruses: Adenoviruses

  • Adenoviruses are medium-sized (90–100 nm), non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses composed of a nucleocapsid and a linear, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome.

• Bacterial Transduction

  • If the virus replicates using "headful packaging," it attempts to fill the nucleocapsid with genetic material.

• Replication of Double-Stranded DNA Viruses of Animals

  • Adenoviruses (members of the family Adenoviridae) are medium-sized (90–100 nm), nonenveloped (without an outer lipid bilayer) viruses with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double stranded DNA genome.
