text: Poxviruses are among the largest double-stranded DNA viruses, with members
such as variola virus, monkeypox virus and the vaccination strain vaccinia virus
(VACV). Knowledge about the structural proteins that form the viral core has remained
sparse. While major core proteins have been annotated via indirect experimental
evidence, their structures have remained elusive and they could not be assigned
to individual core features. Hence, which proteins constitute which layers of
the core, such as the palisade layer and the inner core wall, has remained enigmatic.
Here we show, using a multi-modal cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) approach
in combination with AlphaFold molecular modeling, that trimers formed by the cleavage
product of VACV protein A10 are the key component of the palisade layer. This
allows us to place previously obtained descriptions of protein interactions within
the core wall into perspective and to provide a detailed model of poxvirus core
architecture. Importantly, we show that interactions within A10 trimers are likely
generalizable over members of orthopox- and parapoxviruses.

text: Toscana virus is a major cause of arboviral disease in humans in the Mediterranean
basin during summer. However, early virus-host cell interactions and entry mechanisms
remain poorly characterized. Investigating iPSC-derived human neurons and cell
lines, we found that virus binding to the cell surface was specific, and 50% of
bound virions were endocytosed within 10 min. Virions entered Rab5a+ early endosomes
and, subsequently, Rab7a+ and LAMP-1+ late endosomal compartments. Penetration
required intact late endosomes and occurred within 30 min following internalization.
Virus entry relied on vacuolar acidification, with an optimal pH for viral membrane
fusion at pH 5.5. The pH threshold increased to 5.8 with longer pre-exposure of
virions to the slightly acidic pH in early endosomes. Strikingly, the particles
remained infectious after entering late endosomes with a pH below the fusion threshold.
Overall, our study establishes Toscana virus as a late-penetrating virus and reveals
an atypical use of vacuolar acidity by this virus to enter host cells.

text: The potential of energy filtering and direct electron detection for cryo-electron
microscopy (cryo-EM) has been well documented. Here, we assess the performance
of recently introduced hardware for cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram
averaging (STA), an increasingly popular structural determination method for complex
3D specimens. We acquired cryo-ET datasets of EIAV virus-like particles (VLPs)
on two contemporary cryo-EM systems equipped with different energy filters and
direct electron detectors (DED), specifically a Krios G4, equipped with a cold
field emission gun (CFEG), Thermo Fisher Scientific Selectris X energy filter,
and a Falcon 4 DED; and a Krios G3i, with a Schottky field emission gun (XFEG),
a Gatan Bioquantum energy filter, and a K3 DED. We performed constrained cross-correlation-based
STA on equally sized datasets acquired on the respective systems. The resulting
EIAV CA hexamer reconstructions show that both systems perform comparably in the
4–6 Å resolution range based on Fourier-Shell correlation (FSC). In addition,
by employing a recently introduced multiparticle refinement approach, we obtained
a reconstruction of the EIAV CA hexamer at 2.9 Å. Our results demonstrate the
potential of the new generation of energy filters and DEDs for STA, and the effects
of using different processing pipelines on their STA outcomes.

text: With more than 80 members worldwide, the Orthobunyavirus genus in the Peribunyaviridae
family is a large genus of enveloped RNA viruses, many of which are emerging pathogens
in humans and livestock. How orthobunyaviruses (OBVs) penetrate and infect mammalian
host cells remains poorly characterized. Here, we investigated the entry mechanisms
of the OBV Germiston (GERV). Viral particles were visualized by cryo-electron
microscopy and appeared roughly spherical with an average diameter of 98 nm. Labeling
of the virus with fluorescent dyes did not adversely affect its infectivity and
allowed the monitoring of single particles in fixed and live cells. Using this
approach, we found that endocytic internalization of bound viruses was asynchronous
and occurred within 30-40 min. The virus entered Rab5a+ early endosomes and, subsequently,
late endosomal vacuoles containing Rab7a but not LAMP-1. Infectious entry did
not require proteolytic cleavage, and endosomal acidification was sufficient and
necessary for viral fusion. Acid-activated penetration began 15-25 min after initiation
of virus internalization and relied on maturation of early endosomes to late endosomes.
The optimal pH for viral membrane fusion was slightly below 6.0, and penetration
was hampered when the potassium influx was abolished. Overall, our study provides
real-time visualization of GERV entry into host cells and demonstrates the importance

text: Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) is an assembly cofactor for HIV-1. We report
here that IP6 is also used for assembly of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), a retrovirus
from a different genus. IP6 is ~100-fold more potent at promoting RSV mature capsid
protein (CA) assembly than observed for HIV-1 and removal of IP6 in cells reduces
infectivity by 100-fold. Here, visualized by cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram
averaging, mature capsid-like particles show an IP6-like density in the CA hexamer,
coordinated by rings of six lysines and six arginines. Phosphate and IP6 have
opposing effects on CA in vitro assembly, inducing formation of T = 1 icosahedrons
and tubes, respectively, implying that phosphate promotes pentamer and IP6 hexamer
formation. Subtomogram averaging and classification optimized for analysis of
pleomorphic retrovirus particles reveal that the heterogeneity of mature RSV CA
polyhedrons results from an unexpected, intrinsic CA hexamer flexibility. In contrast,
the CA pentamer forms rigid units organizing the local architecture. These different
features of hexamers and pentamers determine the structural mechanism to form
CA polyhedrons of variable shape in mature RSV particles.

text: The small cellular molecule inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) has been known
for ~20 years to promote the in vitro assembly of HIV-1 into immature virus-like
particles. However, the molecular details underlying this effect have been determined
only recently, with the identification of the IP6 binding site in the immature
Gag lattice. IP6 also promotes formation of the mature capsid protein (CA) lattice
via a second IP6 binding site, and enhances core stability, creating a favorable
environment for reverse transcription. IP6 also enhances assembly of other retroviruses,
from both the Lentivirus and the Alpharetrovirus genera. These findings suggest
that IP6 may have a conserved function throughout the family Retroviridae. Here,
we discuss the different steps in the viral life cycle that are influenced by
IP6, and describe in detail how IP6 interacts with the immature and mature lattices
of different retroviruses.

text: 'Retrovirus assembly is driven by the multidomain structural protein Gag.
Interactions between the capsid domains (CA) of Gag result in Gag multimerization,
leading to an immature virus particle that is formed by a protein lattice based
on dimeric, trimeric, and hexameric protein contacts. Among retroviruses the inter-
and intra-hexamer contacts differ, especially in the N-terminal sub-domain of
CA (CANTD). For HIV-1 the cellular molecule inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) interacts
with and stabilizes the immature hexamer, and is required for production of infectious
virus particles. We have used in vitro assembly, cryo-electron tomography and
subtomogram averaging, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and mutational
analyses to study the HIV-related lentivirus equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV).
In particular, we sought to understand the structural conservation of the immature
lentivirus lattice and the role of IP6 in EIAV assembly. Similar to HIV-1, IP6
strongly promoted in vitro assembly of EIAV Gag proteins into virus-like particles
(VLPs), which took three morphologically highly distinct forms: narrow tubes,
wide tubes, and spheres. Structural characterization of these VLPs to sub-4Å resolution
unexpectedly showed that all three morphologies are based on an immature lattice
with preserved key structural components, highlighting the structural versatility
of CA to form immature assemblies. A direct comparison between EIAV and HIV revealed
that both lentiviruses maintain similar immature interfaces, which are established
by both conserved and non-conserved residues. In both EIAV and HIV-1, IP6 regulates
immature assembly via conserved lysine residues within the CACTD and SP. Lastly,
we demonstrate that IP6 stimulates in vitro assembly of immature particles of
several other retroviruses in the lentivirus genus, suggesting a conserved role
for IP6 in lentiviral assembly.'
