Fig. 3: Comparison of the PCV1 structure with other partitiviruses.

From: The structure of a plant-specific partitivirus capsid reveals a unique coat protein domain architecture with an intrinsically disordered protrusion

Fig. 3

For each virus a quasi-symmetric homodimer is shown in cartoon representation, with subunit A coloured from N-terminus (blue) to C-terminus (red), and subunit B coloured grey for clarity. a The atomic model of PCV-1. b The atomic model of PsV-F (PDB 3ES5). c The atomic model of PsV-S (PDB 3IYM). d PCV-1 shell domain superposed with core α-helices from the PsV-F/PsV-S shell domains. Models shown in ribbon format. PCV-1 is coloured grey. PsV-F is coloured green. PsV-S is coloured orange. Common α-helices in PCV-1 coloured blue for clarity. α2, α3, α5 and α7 from PCV-1 are superposed with α1, α2, α4 and α14 from PsV-F and PsV-S.
