Abstract

A synthetic topology for everted viruses is reported. The topology is a single-stranded virion DNA assembled into a hollow cube with exterior decorated with HIV-Tat transduction domains. The cube incorporates a pHresponsive lid allowing for the controlled encapsulation of functional proteins and their transfer and release into live cells. Unlike viruses, which are protein shells with a [3,5]-fold rotational symmetry that encase nucleic acids, these cubes are [3, 4]-fold DNA boxes encapsulating proteins. Like viruses, such everted DNA-built viruses are monodisperse nanoscale assemblies that infect human cells with a specialist cargo. The design offers a bespoke bottom-up platform for engineering nonpolyhedral, nonprotein synthetic viruses
