Structures of honeybee-infecting Lake Sinai virus reveal domain functions and capsid assembly with dynamic motions
Abstract
Viruses can cause Colony Collapse Disorder, leading to large losses of honeybee hives globally. In this study, the authors solve capsid structures of honeybee-infecting Lake Sinai viruses and identify distinct features, which advances understanding of viral dynamics, assembly and infection mechanisms.
