Fig. 1.
Cross-section of a rotavirus particle, based on a surface rendering of a moderate-resolution cryoEM reconstruction of the intact virion (courtesy of Chen et al., ref. 3). The various protein components are colored as indicated by the labels in the upper left. VP1 and VP3, the polymerase and mRNA capping enzyme, respectively, are tethered to an inward-projecting part of the inner-shell protein, VP2. White arrows show where the N-terminal arms of the outer-layer protein, VP7, clamp onto the underlying VP6.
