Abstract excerpt
The genomes of bacteriophage phi6 and its relatives are packaged through a mechanism that involves the recognition and translocation of the three different plus strand transcripts of the segmented double-stranded RNA genomes into preformed polyhedral structures called procapsids or inner cores. This packaging requires hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates and takes place in the order S-M-L. Packaging is...
