Abstract	The innermost core of rotavirus is composed of VP2, which forms a protein layer that surrounds the two minor proteins VP1 and VP3, and the genome of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA. This inner core layer surrounded by VP6, the major capsid protein, constitutes double-layered particles that are transcriptionally active. Each gene encoding a structural protein of double-layered particles has been cloned into baculovirus recombinants and expressed in insect cells. Previously, we showed that coexpression of different combinations of the structural proteins of rotavirus double-layered particles results in the formation of virus-like particles (VLPs), and each VLP containing VP1, the presumed RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, possesses replicase activity as assayed in an in vitro template-dependent assay system (C. Q.-Y. Zeng, M. J. Wentz, J. Cohen, M. E. Estes, and R. F. Ramig, J. Virol. 70:2736–2742, 1996). This work reports construction and characterization of VLPs containing a truncated VP2 (VPΔ2, containing amino acids [aa] Met-93 to 880). Expression of VPΔ2 alone resulted in the formation of single-layered Δ2-VLPs. Coexpression of VPΔ2 with VP6 produced double-layered Δ2/6-VLPs. VLPs formed by coexpression of VPΔ2 and VP1 or VP3, or both VP1 and VP3, resulted in the formation of VLPs lacking both VP1 and VP3. The presence of VP6 with VPΔ2 did not result in encapsidation of VP1 and VP3. To determine the domain of VP2 required for binding VP1, far-Western blot analyses using a series of truncated VP2 constructs were performed to test their ability to bind VP1. These analyses showed that (i) full-length VP2 (aa 1 to 880) binds to VP1, (ii) any N-terminal truncation lacking aa 1 to 25 fails to bind VP1, and (iii) a C-terminal 296-aa truncated VP2 construct (aa 1 to 583) maintains the ability to bind VP1. These analyses indicate that the N terminus of rotavirus VP2 is necessary for the encapsidation of VP1 and VP3.
