Abstract
The basic structure of all virions is a nucleic acid molecule enclosed in a capsid. The capsid structures must be built of multiple copies of one or a few protein subunits, since viruses do not have enough genetic information to code for a great variety of proteins (Crick and Watson 1957). There are two ways in which identical asymmetrical subunits can assemble to build stable regular capsids: by forming closed shells or through helical assemblies. The assembly of animal viruses has benefited from bacteriophage studies. In bacteriophage systems, all virion proteins and other late proteins, such as scaffolding proteins, required for assembly are synthesized simultaneously and accumulate in a precursor pool. From the pool, they are withdrawn by specific interactions to form assembly intermediates that in turn are assembled into complete virions, a process that in many cases involves several enzymatic steps such as precursor cleavages. Some examples are provided by the T-even bacteriophags λ and p22; in vivo studies with conditional lethal mutants first showed the general pathway, but an in vitro assembly system of complementation was required to delineate the molecular details (Edgar and Wood 1966; Earnshaw and Casjens 1980; Fuller and King 1980, 1982).
