Tobacco curly shoot virus, a monopartite begomovirus associated with betasatellite, causes serious leaf curl diseases on tomato and tobacco in China. Using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the structure of tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV) particle at 3.57 Å resolution and confirmed the characteristic geminate architecture with single-strand DNA bound to each coat protein (CP). The CP⁻CP and DNA⁻CP interactions, arranged in a CP⁻DNA⁻CP pattern at the interface, were partially observed. This suggests the genomic DNA plays an important role in forming a stable interface during assembly of the geminate particle.
烟草曲叶病毒,一种与卫星 β 伴随的单分体伴随病毒,在中国引起番茄和烟草的严重卷叶病。通过单颗粒冷冻电镜,我们确定了烟草曲叶病毒(TbCSV)颗粒的结构,分辨率为 3.57 Å,并证实了具有与每个外壳蛋白(CP)结合的单链 DNA 的特征双联体结构。在界面处排列成 CP-DNA-CP 模式的 CP-CP 和 DNA-CP 相互作用被部分观察到。这表明基因组 DNA 在双联体颗粒组装过程中形成稳定界面中发挥重要作用。
