Short Name | Orbi_VP7_capsid_C |
description | The bluetongue virus (BTV) is a representative of the orbivirus genus of the Reoviridae. The crystal structure of VP7 from BTV serotype 10 reveals that the central one third of the polypeptide chain (residues 121-249) is folded into a β-sandwich. The rest of the polypeptide (residues 1-120 and 250-349) is composed of nine α-helices and long extended loops [].This superfamily represents the C-terminal domain consisting of four α-helices. |
