CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A197 FROM STIV

Overview

Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV) was the first icosahedral, virus characterized from an archaeal host. It infects Sulfolobus species, that thrive in the acidic hot springs (pH 2.9 to 3.9 and 72 to 92 degrees, C) of Yellowstone National Park. The overall capsid architecture and the, structure of its major capsid protein are very similar to those of the, bacteriophage PRD1 and eukaryotic viruses Paramecium bursaria Chlorella, virus 1 and adenovirus, suggesting a viral lineage that predates the three, domains of life. The 17,663-base-pair, circular, double-stranded DNA, genome contains 36 potential open reading frames, whose sequences, generally show little similarity to other genes in the sequence databases., However, functional and evolutionary information may be suggested by ...
