Figure 7From: A novel virus genome discovered in an extreme environment suggests recombination between unrelated groups of RNA and DNA virusesBSL RDHV predicted protein structures. (A) Structural analysis of the BSL RDHV capsid protein: The predicted structure for residues 156–302 of the BSL RDHV capsid protein monomer ORF is overlaid on the Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus (PDB ID: 2TBV) and Melon Necrotic Spot Virus (PDB ID: 2ZAH) capsid proteins (latter two are not shown). The predicted BSL RDHV capsid is color-coded by the “Qres” dimensional structure-fitting parameter score, by BLOSUM80, and by percent amino acid sequence identity. (B) Structural analysis of the BSL RDHV replicase catalytic core: The predicted BSL RDHV Rep nuclease domain structure (colored by Qres) threaded onto PCV2 Rep (PDB ID: 2HW0) in silver. The conserved active-site tyrosine is shown in yellow.Back to article page
