Viroplasms
Viroplasms are cytoplasmic, membraneless structures assembled in rotavirus (RV)-infected cells, which are intricately involved in viral replication. Two virus-encoded, non-structural proteins, NSP2 and NSP5, are the main drivers...

Deep diversification of an AAV capsid protein by machine learning.
Modern experimental technologies can assay large numbers of biological sequences, but engineered protein libraries rarely exceed the sequence diversity of natural protein families. Machine learning (ML) models trained directly...

Assembly of infectious enteroviruses depends on multiple, conserved genomic RNA-coat protein contacts.
Picornaviruses are important viral pathogens, but despite extensive study, the assembly process of their infectious virions is still incompletely understood, preventing the development of anti-viral strategies targeting this...

Intracellular neutralisation of rotavirus by VP6-specific IgG.
Rotavirus is a major cause of gastroenteritis in children, with infection typically inducing high levels of protective antibodies. Antibodies targeting the middle capsid protein VP6 are particularly abundant, and as VP6 is only...

Cryo-EM structure of ssDNA bacteriophage ΦCjT23 provides insight into early virus evolution.
The origin of viruses remains an open question. While lack of detectable sequence similarity hampers the analysis of distantly related viruses, structural biology investigations of conserved capsid protein structures facilitate...

The architecture and stabilisation of flagellotropic tailed bacteriophages.
Flagellotropic bacteriophages engage flagella to reach the bacterial surface as an effective means to increase the capture radius for predation. Structural details of these viruses are of great interest given the substantial...

A barnavirus sequence mined from a transcriptome of the Antarctic pearlwort Colobanthus quitensis.
Because so few viruses in the family Barnaviridae have been reported, we searched for more of them in public sequence databases. Here, we report the complete coding sequence of Colobanthus quitensis associated barnavirus 1...
