The capsid encapsulates an inner membrane and the genomic dsDNA genome. The major coat protein P3 and two assembly factors (P10 and P17) are needed during the assembly of the virus particle inside the host cell, when the capsid protein multimers are capable of enclosing the host-derived membrane, containing the virus-encoded membrane-associated proteins. Publication Abstract from PubMed The unusual bacteriophage PRD1 features a membrane beneath its icosahedral protein coat. The crystal structure of the major coat protein, P3, at 1.85 A resolution reveals a molecule with three interlocking subunits, each with two eight-stranded viral jelly rolls normal to the viral capsid, and putative membrane-interacting regions. Surprisingly, the P3 molecule closely resembles hexon, the equivalent protein in human adenovirus. Both viruses also have similar overall architecture, with identical capsid lattices and attachment proteins at their vertices. Although these two dsDNA viruses infect hosts from very different kingdoms, their striking similarities, from major coat protein through capsid architecture, strongly suggest their evolutionary relationship.
