3j9x

A Virus that Infects a Hyperthermophile Encapsidates A-Form DNA

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 3j9x is a 60 chain structure with sequence from Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus 2. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 3.8Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CAPSD_SIRV2 Self-assembles to form a helical, filamentous nucleocapsid (PubMed:25999507). The capsid proteins wrap around the DNA and maintain it in an A-form by non-specific desolvation and specific coordination of the DNA phosphate groups by positively charged residues (Probable) (PubMed:25999507). This certainly protects the viral DNA under conditions such as the extreme desiccation of its host (Probable). See Also Virus coat proteins 3D structures
