Structure of the mature Rous sarcoma virus lattice reveals a role for IP6 in the formation of the capsid hexamer

Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) is a known assembly cofactor for HIV-1. Here, the authors show the role of IP6 in the assembly of the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). Reported cryo-ET structures of mature capsid-like particles (CLPs) suggest that IP6 modulates the formation of capsid polyhedrons of variabl...
