Structural basis for DNA recognition and loading into a viral packaging motor.

Structural basis for DNA recognition and loading into a viral packaging motor.

Genome packaging into preformed viral procapsids is driven by powerful molecular motors. The small terminase protein is essential for the initial recognition of viral DNA and regulates the motor's ATPase and nuclease activities during DNA translocation. The crystal structure of a full-length sm...
