Flavivirus maturation leads to the formation of an occupied lipid pocket in the surface glycoproteins
Here, the authors provide cryo-EM structures of mature and immature Spondweni virus, defining the furin recognition site at high resolution, and identifying a lipid that binds E upon capsid maturation and is also present in Zika and Dengue virions.
