In response, one family of large bacteriophages uses a nucleus-like compartment to protect its replicating genomes by excluding host defence factors(2-4). However, the principal composition and structure of this compartment remain unknown. Here we find that the bacteriophage nuclear shell assembles primarily from one protein, which we name chimallin (ChmA). Combining cryo-electron tomography of nuclear shells in bacteriophage-infected cells and cryo-electron microscopy of a minimal chimallin compartment in vitro, we show that chimallin self-assembles as a flexible sheet into closed micrometre-scale compartments. The architecture and assembly dynamics of the chimallin shell suggest mechanisms for its nucleation and growth, and its role as a scaffold for phage-encoded factors mediating macromolecular transport, cytoskeletal interactions, and viral maturation. Architecture and self-assembly of the jumbo bacteriophage nuclear shell.,Laughlin TG, Deep A, Prichard AM, Seitz C, Gu Y, Enustun E, Suslov S, Khanna K, Birkholz EA, Armbruster E, McCammon JA, Amaro RE, Pogliano J, Corbett KD, Villa E Nature. 2022 Aug;608(7922):429-435. doi: 10.1038/s41586-022-05013-4.
