Roles for human papillomavirus type 16 l1 cysteine residues 161, 229, and 379 in genome encapsidation and capsid stability.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) capsids are formed through a network of inter- and intra-pentameric hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bonds. 72 pentamers of the major capsid protein, L1, and an unknown amount of the minor capsid protein, L2, form the structure of the capsid. There are 12 conserved L...
