Radioiodination of advenovirus-associated virus external structural proteins. [/sup 125/I]

Journal Article · · Virology; (United States)
The three structural polypeptides of adenovirus-associated virus type 3 (AAV-3) were examined to determine their orientation in the viral capsid. Sepharose-bound lactoperoxidase was used to label both dense-band and major-band AAV-3 virions. All three capsid proteins (VP1, VP2, and VP3) were found to be radioiodinated by solid-state lactoperoxidase in both dense-band and major-band virus particles. These findings indicate that the three polypeptides possess sequences that are externally oriented in the virion and that, therefore, no one of the three polypeptides can be considered an exclusively internally core protein.
