Fig. 1

ad Diagrams of cross-sections of reovirus virions, infectious subvirion particles (ISVPs), and cores. Schematics depict the arrangement and conformation of structural proteins in the double-layered shells of the virions in the absence (a) and presence (b) of Neu5Ac (triggering a conformational change of σ1); removal of σ3, cleavage of μ1, and rearrangement of σ1 in ISVPs (c); and removal of μ1 fragments, loss of σ1, and opening of the λ2 turret in cores (d).
