The VP2/VP3 Minor Capsid Protein of Simian Virus 40 Promotes the in Vitro Assembly of the Major Capsid Protein VP1 into Particles

The SV40 capsid is composed primarily of 72 pentamers of the VP1 major capsid protein. Although the capsid also contains the minor capsid protein VP2 and its amino-terminally truncated form VP3, their roles in capsid assembly remain unknown. An in vitro assembly system was used to investigate the ro...
