Publication Abstract from PubMed

Infecting a wide range of hosts, members of Reovirales (formerly Reoviridae) consist of a genome with different numbers of segmented double stranded RNAs (dsRNA) encapsulated by a proteinaceous shell and carry out genome replication and transcription inside the virion. Several cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of reoviruses with 9, 10 or 11 segmented dsRNA genomes have revealed insights into genome arrangement and transcription. However, the structure and genome arrangement of 12-segmented Reovirales members remain poorly understood. Using cryo-EM, we determined the structure of mud crab reovirus (MCRV), a 12-segmented dsRNA virus that is a putative member of Reovirales in the non-turreted Sedoreoviridae family, to near-atomic resolutions with icosahedral symmetry (3.1 A) and without imposing icosahedral symmetry (3.4 A). These structures revealed the organization of the major capsid proteins in two layers: an outer T = 13 layer consisting of VP12 trimers and unique VP11 clamps, and an inner T = 1 layer consisting of VP3 dimers. Additionally, ten RNA dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) were well resolved just below the VP3 layer but were offset from the 5-fold axes and arranged with D5 symmetry, which has not previously been seen in other members of Reovirales. The N-termini of VP3 were shown to adopt four unique conformations; two of which anchor the RdRps, while the other two conformations are likely involved in genome organization and capsid stability. Taken together, these structures provide a new level of understanding for capsid stabilization and genome organization of segmented dsRNA viruses.
