Structural conservation in a membrane-enveloped filamentous virus infecting a hyperthermophilic acidophile

Only a few archaeal filamentous viruses have been structurally characterized. Here the authors describe the membrane-enveloped Sulfolobus filamentous virus 1 that infects Sulfolobus shibatae and present its 3.7 Å resolution cryo-EM structure, which reveals that major coat proteins are structurally c...
