What's a GeneRIF?
  1. When the MS2 capsid assembles, the conformation of bound RNA and its interaction with the PRR1 coat-protein dimer are similar in both small RNA phages PRR1 and phage MS2.
    Title: PRR1 coat protein binding to its RNA translational operator.
  2. A new concept in virus biology provides predictive information on structural constraints on coat protein and genome topography, revealing a previously unrecognized structural interdependence of the shapes and sizes of different viral components.
    Title: Structural constraints on the three-dimensional geometry of simple viruses: case studies of a new predictive tool.
  3. This study shows that translational repressor binding results in self-association of asymmetric (AB) dimers being inhibited, whilst association of AB with symmetric (CC) dimers is greatly enhanced.
