pH-induced morphological changes of proteinaceous viral shells

Abstract: Changes in environmental pH can induce morphological changes in empty proteinaceous shells of bacteriophages in vitro that are very similar to changes occurring in viral capsids in vivo after encapsidation of DNA. These changes in capsid shape and size cannot be explained with a simple elastic model alone. We propose a new theoretical framework that combines the elasticity of thin icosahedral shells with the pH dependence of capsid charge distribution. Minimization… Show more

“…Cryo-EM of the CIRV particle showed that they have internal shells with the separates section. The outer surfaces of the shells have a negative charge, and the inner surfaces have a positive charge due to pH-induced morphological changes of proteinaceous viral shells 12,13 . It was demonstrated that p19 and other proteins staying in the virus based on the changes in the charges 14 .…”

“…They were considered to be responsible for the pH-dependent changes in the morphology and assembly/disassembly of the viral capsid of noroviruses. Although viral capsids have some elastic behavior, capsid disintegration may take place if large highly inhomogeneous deformations in the viral capsid (overstretch) occur due to the repulsion between the identical charges (negative charges at high pH) (da Silva et al, 2011;Roshal et al, 2019). At neutral and high pH, most viral particles have a net negative charge because they have an isoelectric point below 7.…”

“…Droplets can also vary in the value of their pH [56,[187][188][189], which can change with RH and with that affect the viability of aerosolized viruses in the droplets. Already from a purely electrostatic perspective, a change in pH modifies the charge on the ionizable amino acids [190,191], which can lead to conformational changes in viral proteins [141,192], eventually destabilizing the virus [193][194][195]. Yang et al [141] furthermore found that the response of enveloped viruses to changes in RH depends on whether the process of fusion requires low pH or not.…”
