Details of the arrangement of the outer capsid of rice dwarf phytoreovirus, as visualized by two-dimensional crystallography.

RESUMO

Two-dimensional crystals were obtained from purified P8, an outer capsid protein of rice dwarf phytoreovirus. A filtered image of the two-dimensional crystal, in combination with the results of biochemical analysis, revealed the unit formation of the capsid protein, a capsomere structure, which appeared to be an approximately equilateral triangle with sides of approximately 6 nm and which was composed of a trimer of P8 protein. Details of the arrangements of the outer capsid of the virus are described.
