ジャーナル: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / 年: 2025 タイトル: Cryo-EM structure of cyanopodophage A4 reveals a pentameric pre-ejectosome in the double-stabilized capsid. 著者: Pu Hou / Rui-Qian Zhou / Yong-Liang Jiang / Rong-Cheng Yu / Kang Du / Nanqin Gan / Fei Ke / Qi-Ya Zhang / Qiong Li / Cong-Zhao Zhou / 要旨: Upon infection, the podophages usually eject a couple of proteins from the capsid to form a transmembrane ejectosome on the host cell membrane that facilitates the ejection of viral genome. However, ...Upon infection, the podophages usually eject a couple of proteins from the capsid to form a transmembrane ejectosome on the host cell membrane that facilitates the ejection of viral genome. However, it remains unclear how these proteins of pre-ejectosome are finely assembled at the center of highly packaged genome. Here, we report the intact structure of cyanopodophage A4, which consists of a capsid stabilized by two types of cement proteins and a short tail attached with six tail fibers. Notably, we find a pentameric pre-ejectosome at the core of capsid, which is composed of four ejection proteins wrapped into a coaxial cylinder of triple layers. Moreover, a segment of genomic DNA runs along the positively charged circular cleft formed by two ejection proteins. Based on the mortise-and-tenon architecture of pre-ejectosome in combination with previous studies, we propose a putative DNA packaging process and ejection mechanism for podophages. These findings largely enrich our knowledge on the assembly mechanism of podophages, which might facilitate the application of A4 as a chassis cyanophage in synthetic biology.
