CryoEM structure and assembly mechanism of a bacterial virus genome gatekeeper
Numerous viruses use a portal system for dsDNA entry and exit from their capsid. Here the authors report the atomic structure of phage SPP1 portal DNA gatekeeper and its mechanism of assembly. They also identify evolution breakpoints between different tailed bacteriophages morphotypes and herpesviru...
