痘病毒病毒粒子含有内部管状核衣壳结构。核衣壳显然是不稳定的传统电子显微镜固定程序,因此在很大程度上被忽视了几十年。电子显微镜样品制备的进步,特别是高压冷冻,更好地保存了核衣壳结构。使用高压冷冻和电子显微镜,我们已经比较了野生型病毒和突变病毒的病毒体结构,已知是缺乏包装的病毒转录酶。我们发现,突变病毒缺乏一个明确的核衣壳。这些结果支持了核衣壳含有与病毒转录酶和结构蛋白复合的病毒DNA基因组的假设。这些研究为进一步研究痘病毒核衣壳的组成和超微结构打开了大门。
The poxvirus virion contains an inner tubular nucleocapsid structure. The nucleocapsid is apparently labile to conventional electron microscopy fixation procedures and has therefore been largely ignored for decades. Advancements in electron microscopy sample preparation, notably high pressure freezing, better preserve the nucleocapsid structure. Using high pressure freezing and electron microscopy, we have compared the virion structures of wt virus and mutant viruses known to be deficient in packaging of viral transcription enzymes. We show that the mutant viruses lack a defined nucleocapsid. These results support the hypothesis that the nucleocapsid contains the viral DNA genome complexed with viral transcription enzymes and structural proteins. The studies open the door to further investigation of the composition and ultrastructure of the poxvirus nucleocapsid.
