Abstract
Virus-encoded capsid proteins play a major role in the life cycles of all viruses. The JC virus capsid is composed of 72 pentamers of the major capsid protein Vp1, with one of the minor coat proteins Vp2 or Vp3 in the center of each pentamer. Vp3 is identical to two-thirds of Vp2, and these proteins share a DNA binding domain, a nuclear localization signal, and a Vp1-interacting domain. We demonstrate here that both the minor proteins and the myristylation site on Vp2 are essential for the viral life cycle, including the proper packaging of its genome.Keywords
