Assembly into single-shelled virus-like particles by major capsid protein VP1 encoded by genome segment S1 of Bombyx mori cypovirus 1.
The major capsid protein VP1 encoded by genome segment S1 of Bombyx mori cypovirus 1 was expressed in a baculovirus system. In the absence of any other capsid proteins, VP1 was found to assemble into single-shelled virus-like particles. The VP1 particles were more sensitive to acidic conditions than were intact particles.
