The crystal structure of the Φ6 polymerase, solved in complex with a number of ligands, provides insights towards understanding the mechanism of primer-independent initiation of RNA-dependent …

The Φ6 virion is composed of multiple layers, with the P1 protein forming an icosahedral capsid shell enclosing the dsRNA genome, in turn surrounded by an intermediate shell composed of proteins P4 …

Pseudomonas phage Phi6 is defined as a bacteriophage with a genome composed of three dsRNA segments, which plays a role in infecting bacterial cells by digesting the cell wall and is associated …

Bacteriophage Phi6 packages its dsRNA genomic segments selectively and sequentially through the function of the packaging motor P4 which occupies fivefold vertices of the Phi6 procapsid, and …

Jun 1, 2006 · Members of the Reoviridae family infect plants, insects, and animals (Mertens, 2004). ϕ6 is a spherical, enveloped virus infecting gram-negative Pseuodomonas syringae cells. The ϕ6 virion is …

Sectioning of pelleted bacteriophage showed a layered structure, i.e., an inner dense core 30 nm in diameter, and another electron dense shell ~50 nm in diameter, which appeared as a dark circle on …
