摘  要    禽呼肠孤病毒(Avian reovirus,ARV)是一种双链RNA 病毒,对家禽养殖业构成严重威胁。本文利用冷冻电镜技术解析了ARV病毒的完整病毒颗粒(virion)以及处于转录状态的病毒核心颗粒(T-core)的高分辨率三维结构。对比分析表明,ARV病毒virion和T-core颗粒的塔状突起蛋白λC存在明显结构差异,显示其在病毒转录过程中的重要作用。在病毒转录态核心颗粒中,作者发现σA蛋白与双链RNA存在较强结合,并确认了起关键作用的氨基酸残基。同时,分析了ARV病毒内部转录酶RdRP以及基因组三维结构,获得了处于转录过程中ARV病毒核心颗粒内部基因组的三维分布。

Abstract    Avian reovirus (ARV) is a double-stranded RNA virus that poses a serious threat to the poultry industry. In this study, we employed cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to resolve the three-dimensional structures of both the virion and the transcribing core  particle (T-core) of ARV. Comparative analysis revealed significant difference in the structures of turrent protein λC in the virion and T-core particles, suggesting that λC plays a key role in the transcription process of ARV. Additionally, the σA protein in the T-core particle exhibits strong binding to the double-stranded RNA, and the key amino acid residues involved in this binding were identified. Furthermore, we analyzed the internal structures of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), which revealed the three-dimensional organization and distribution of the RNA genome within the transcribing ARV core particle.
