Rubella virus (RUBV), a rubivirus, is an airborne human pathogen that generally causes
mild measles-like symptoms in children or adults. However, RUBV infection of pregnant …

The capsid protein of rubella virus was produced in baculovirus-infectedSpodoptera
frugiperdainsect cells, with a polyhistidine affinity tag at the carboxy terminus. The RV capsid …

The distribution and morphology of mitochondria are dramatically affected during infection
with rubella virus (RV). Expression of the capsid, in the absence of other viral proteins, was …

Publisher Summary Rubella virus is a potent, infectious, teratogenic agent that continues to
cause devastating epidemics of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in much of the world …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein forms the nucleocapsid of the HCV particle. Although
many functions of core protein have been reported, how the HCV particle is assembled is …

Nucleocapsid formation is a primary function of the rubella virus capsid protein, which also
promotes viral RNA synthesis via an unknown mechanism. The present study demonstrates …

Virus replication occurs in the midst of a life or death struggle between the virus and the
infected host cell. To limit virus replication, host cells can activate a number of antiviral …

Rubella virus (RV) virions contain three structural proteins, a capsid protein that interacts
with viral genomic RNA to form a nucleocapsid and two membrane glycoproteins, E2 and …

Rubella virus (RUBV) contains a plus-strand RNA genome with two ORFs, one encoding the
non-structural replicase proteins (NS-ORF) and the second encoding the virion structural …

During infection, the host cell environment must be altered to accommodate viral replication.
These alterations include hijacking cellular membranes as well as other components to form …
