Journal ArticleDOI

Cryo-EM structure of the mature dengue virus at 3.5-A resolution.

TL;DR: The atomic model of the whole virion from cryo–electron microscopy at 3.5-Å resolution reveals that in the mature virus at neutral extracellular pH, the N-terminal 20-amino-acid segment of M prevents spring-loaded E fusion protein from prematurely exposing its fusion peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI

3.88 Å structure of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus by cryo-electron microscopy

TL;DR: The polyhedrin-binding domain, a structure that has potential in nanobiotechnology applications, is identified and observed a helix-to-β-hairpin conformational change between the two conformational states of the capsid shell protein in the region directly interacting with genomic RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atomic structures of a bactericidal contractile nanotube in its pre- and postcontraction states

TL;DR: It is proposed that the contraction process draws energy from electrostatic and shape complementarities to insert the inner tube through bacterial cell membranes to eventually kill the bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

In situ structures of the segmented genome and RNA polymerase complex inside a dsRNA virus

TL;DR: These findings establish the link between sensing of environmental cues by the external proteins and activation of endogenous RNA transcription by the TEC inside the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atomic structure of the human cytomegalovirus capsid with its securing tegument layer of pp150.

TL;DR: This work derived an atomic structure for the herpesvirus-conserved capsid proteins MCP, Tri1, Tri2, and SCP and the HCMV-specific tegument protein pp150, totaling ~4000 molecules and 62 different conformers.
