Plate tectonics of virus shell assembly and reorganization in phage φ8, a distant relative of mammalian reoviruses.
The hallmark of a virus is its capsid, which harbors the viral genome and is formed from protein subunits, which assemble following precise geometric rules. dsRNA viruses use an unusual protein multiplicity (120 copies) to form their closed capsids. We have determined the atomic structure of the cap...
