Abstract

Papaya mosaic virus protein forms sinuous tubular particles with homologous RNA or that from a related virus at pH 8.0, whereas it makes thin extended particles with RNAs from unrelated viruses under the same conditions. The coat protein forms particles with discontinuities with both homologous and heterologous RNAs from pH 6.0 to 7.5. It will also encapsidate DNA under similar conditions. The protein encapsidates poly(A) and poly(C), but not poly(U) or poly(I) at pH 8.0, nor will it form tubular particles at pH 8.0 with homologous RNA in which cytosine has been transformed to uracil.
