Assembly and Capsid Expansion Mechanism of Bacteriophage P22 Revealed by High-Resolution Cryo-EM Structures

The formation of many double-stranded DNA viruses, such as herpesviruses and bacteriophages, begins with the scaffolding-protein-mediated assembly of the procapsid. Subsequently, the procapsid undergoes extensive structural rearrangement and expansion to become the mature capsid. Bacteriophage P22 i...
