Direct Visualization of the Putative Portal in the Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Capsid by Cryoelectron Tomography

11 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and biochemical studies have suggested the existence of a bacteriophage-like, DNA-packaging/ejecting portal complex in herpesviruses capsids, but its arrangement remained unknown. Here, we report the first visualization of a unique vertex in the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) capsid by cryoelectron tomography, thus providing direct structural evidence for the existence of a portal complex...
