Most double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses transcribe RNA plus strands within a common innermost capsid shell. This process requires coordinated efforts by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) together with other capsid proteins and genomic RNA. Here we report the near-atomic resolution structure of the RdRp protein VP2 in complex with its cofactor protein VP4 and genomic RNA within an aquareovirus capsid using 200-kV cryoelectron microscopy and symmetry-mismatch reconstruction ...
