Interactions among vRNPs. (A) Nucleic acid–like string structures connect vRNPs at multiple positions. Note that the string structures are not restricted to the top of the rod-like vRNPs. Arrowheads indicate nucleic acid–like string structures. (B) Intersegment interactions. Interactions between the genome packaging signals (red) as well as interactions of the packaging signals with nonpackaging signals (blue) are indicated. (A, reprinted from Noda et al.
