Abstract excerpt
The capsids of mammalian reovirus contain two concentric protein shells, the core and the outer capsid. The outer capsid is composed of μ1-σ3 heterohexamers which surround the core. The core is composed of λ1 decamers held in place by σ2. After entry into the endosome, σ3 is proteolytically degraded and μ1 is cleaved and exposed to form infectious subvirion particles (ISVPs). ISVPs undergo further conformational...
