Reovirus core
OverviewOverview
The reovirus core is an assembly with a relative molecular mass of 52, million that synthesizes, modifies and exports viral messenger RNA., Analysis of its structure by X-ray crystallography shows that there are, alternative, specific and completely non-equivalent contacts made by, several surfaces of two of its proteins; that the RNA capping and export, apparatus is a hollow cylinder, which probably sequesters its substrate to, ensure completion of the capping reactions; that the genomic, double-stranded RNA is coiled into concentric layers within the particle;, and that there is a protein shell that appears to be common to all groups, of double-stranded RNA viruses.
