==Overview==
==Overview==
BACKGROUND: Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a major pathogen that, dramatically reduces rice production in many African countries. RYMV, belongs to the genus sobemovirus, one group of plant viruses with, icosahedral capsids and single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genomes., RESULTS: The structure of RYMV was determined and refined to 2.8 A, resolution by X-ray crystallography. The capsid contains 180 copies of the, coat protein subunit arranged with T = 3 icosahedral symmetry. Each, subunit adopts a jelly-roll beta sandwich fold. The RYMV capsid structure, is similar to those of other sobemoviruses. When compared with these, viruses, however, the betaA arm of the RYMV C subunit, which is a, molecular switch that regulates quasi-equivalent subunit interactions, is, swapped with the 2-fold-related betaA arm to a similar, noncovalent, bonding environment. This exchange of identical structural elements across, a symmetry axis is categorized as 3D domain swapping and produces, long-range interactions throughout the icosahedral surface lattice., Biochemical analysis supports the notion that 3D domain swapping increases, the stability of RYMV. CONCLUSIONS: The quasi-equivalent interactions, between the RYMV proteins are regulated by the N-terminal ordered residues, of the betaA arm, which functions as a molecular switch. Comparative, analysis suggests that this molecular switch can also modulate the, stability of the viral capsids.
