• PubMed Abstract: 
  

Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus is a betaretrovirus and the causative agent of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a transmissible lung tumour of sheep. Here we report the crystal structure of the capsid amino-terminal domain and examine the self-association properties of Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus capsid. We find that the structure is remarkably similar to the amino-terminal domain of the alpharetrovirus, avian leukosis virus, revealing a previously undetected evolutionary similarity. Examination of capsid self-association suggests a mode of assembly not driven by the strong capsid carboxy-terminal domain interactions that characterise capsid assembly in the lentiviruses. Based on these data, we propose this structure provides a model for the capsid of betaretroviruses including the HML-2 family of endogenous human betaretroviruses.
