Description:

Description: English: The double jelly-roll major capsid protein (MCP) of large icosahedral viruses. (A) Multiple sequence alignment of the MCPs of CroV, PBCV-1, PpV01 and APMV. Both CroV and APMV have large DE2 loops. (B) The CroV MCP (red) was homologously modeled and superposed with the X-ray structure of PBCV-1 (cyan) to show the longer DE2 loop of CroV. (C) Ribbon diagram of the trimeric homologously modeled CroV double jelly-roll MCP capsomer displaying a pseudo-hexagonal shape. Individual double jelly-roll MCPs are color-coded. (D) Central cross-section of the cryo-EM map of CroV superposed with that of PBCV-1. CroV not only has a larger virion diameter (3000 Å vs 1800 Å), its capsid layer is also thicker (105 Å vs 75 Å), which is consistent with the extended DE2 loop shown in panel (B). Date: 4 July 2017.
