摘要: Bracovirus is one of the two polydnavirus genera. Here, we used a cryo-EM analysis to reveal the near-native morphology of two nucleocapsid-containing model bracoviruses: Microplitis bicoloratus bracovirus (MbBV) and Microplitis mediator bracovirus (MmBV). MbBV and MmBV nucleocapsids have discernable cap structures in two distal regions with relatively high electron density. Adjacent to the end-cap structures are two electron-lucent rings. Some nucleocapsids were uniformly electron-dense and had a distinctive helix-tail-like structure. Cryo-EM revealed inconsistent nucleocapsid diameters of 34-69.9nm in MbBV and 46-69.9nm in MmBV, and the largest observed cylindrical area length was expanded to 126nm.
