Assembly of the STIV virion from a single protein module. The B345 coat subunit, A223 penton base, and C381 turret protein are all formed of various numbers of jelly-roll domains fused on a single polypeptide chain. We therefore propose that a unique ancestral protein module gave rise to many of the STIV structural proteins by duplication and sequence diversification events.
