Implication for alphavirus host-cell entry and assembly indicated by a 3.5Å resolution cryo-EM structure
10 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that contain several human pathogens. Due to intrinsic heterogeneity of alphavirus particles, a high resolution structure of the virion is currently lacking. Here we provide a 3.5 Å cryo-EM structure of Sindbis virus, using block based reconstruction method that overcomes the heterogeneity problem. Our structural analysis identifies a number of conserved residues that play...
