Structural highlights 1cd3 is a 7 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus phiX174. The February 2000 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Bacteriophage phiX174 by David S. Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2000_2. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 3.5Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CAPSD_BPPHS Assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=1 symmetry, about 30 nm in diameter, and consisting of 60 capsid proteins F (PubMed:11991963, PubMed:1370343, PubMed:8158636). Upon virus binding to host cell, one of the spikes dissociates from the capsid and the virus interacts with LPS through the exposed EF loops on the F proteins (PubMed:29229840). After the genome had been ejected, the channel formed by the F proteins at the unique fivefold axis remains open (PubMed:29229840). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed An empty precursor particle called the procapsid is formed during assembly of the single-stranded DNA bacteriophage phiX174. Assembly of the phiX174 procapsid requires the presence of the two scaffolding proteins, D and B, which are structural components of the procapsid, but are not found in the mature virion. The X-ray crystallographic structure of a "closed" procapsid particle has been determined to 3.5 A resolution. This structure has an external scaffold made from 240 copies of protein D, 60 copies of the internally located B protein, and contains 60 copies of each of the viral structural proteins F and G, which comprise the shell and the 5-fold spikes, respectively. The F capsid protein has a similar conformation to that seen in the mature virion, and differs from the previously determined 25 A resolution electron microscopic reconstruction of the "open" procapsid, in which the F protein has a different conformation. The D scaffolding protein has a predominantly alpha-helical fold and displays remarkable conformational variability. We report here an improved and refined structure of the closed procapsid and describe in some detail the differences between the four independent D scaffolding proteins per icosahedral asymmetric unit, as well as their interaction with the F capsid protein. We re-analyze and correct the comparison of the closed procapsid with the previously determined cryo-electron microscopic image reconstruction of the open procapsid and discuss the major structural rearrangements that must occur during assembly. A model is proposed in which the D proteins direct the assembly process by sequential binding and conformational switching.
