Hepatitis B virus contains a linear DNA which is inclosed by nucleocapsid.


Subcloning and expression of nucleocapsid protein in E. coli?

To subclone and express the nucleocapsid protein in E. coli, the nucleocapsid gene is first amplified by PCR and then inserted into an expression vector, typically one that contains a suitable promoter for expression in E. coli. The recombinant vector is then transformed into E. coli cells, which will produce the nucleocapsid protein when induced by suitable growth conditions. The expressed protein can be purified from the cell lysate using techniques such as affinity chromatography.


How virus prion and viroid evolve?

Prions are misfolded proteins and may form because of some misreading of the DNA code. Virions are extracellular state of a virus with nucleocapsid.

What the differences between virion and virus?

Virions are physical entities contain nucleocapsid ,capsid and sometime envelop. It exist extracellularly. Viruses are genetic material that occur intracellularly.


How do enveloped viruses differ from nonenveloped viruses?

DNA or RNA + Structural Proteins + Enzymes and nucleic acid binding proteins = Nucleocapsid (may be the same as a virion or surrounded by an envelope) If there is only a Nucleocapsid, then it is considered a Naked Capsid Virus If there is a Nucleocapsid with the addition of Glycoproteins and a Membrane, then the virus is considered enveloped.


Are retroviruses proteins?

Retrovirus and all other viruses contain protein which are known as capsid.Retrovirus do have capsid, nucleocapsid and enzymes such as RT, integrase and accessory proteins. These proteins are crucial for their infectivity and replication inside the host.


What surrounds a virus?

I take it that you meant to ask what surrounds the genome of the virus. The genome of the virus (be it DNA or RNA) is enclosed within the capsid shell. The capsid shell is made by the oligomerisation of capsid proteins in a specific organised manner. The genome together with the capsid is termed as nucleocapsid. Sometimes the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane (of host origin) called the envelope. The viruses which have an envelope are called envelope viruses eg., Chikunguyna virus, Rabies virus, HIV and the viruses without an envelope are called naked viruses eg., Poliovirus, Rotavirus
