SAMPLE ABSTRACT 

THE THREE DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE AND MORPHOGENESIS OF SINGAPORE GROUPER
IRIDOVIRUS

Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), a major pathogen in grouper
aquaculture, was first isolated in 1998 from brown-spotted grouper. In the
past decade, we carried out the viral genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and
lipidomic studies, dissected its molecular compositions and revealed its
gene expression profiles. Our results show that the complex virion contains
a dsDNA genome of 140,131 bp, at least 44 structural proteins and 220 lipid
species. How these molecules are assembled to form a viral particle is
unknown. Recent advances in cryoEM/ET technology and computational power
have made it possible to examine the structure and morphogenesis of large
complex viruses in three dimensions. We took more than 1000 frames with an
FEI Titan Krios microscope and selected about 6000 particles for 3D
reconstruction. A subnano resolution map was obtained, which reveals: 1)
hexamers and pentamers distributed on a T = 247 icosahedral lattice; 2) an
irregular lipid bilayer between the capsid shell and viral core; 3) anchor
proteins located between the capsid shell and the inner lipid bilayer.
High-pressure freezing and freeze substitution were used to prepare
SGIV-infected cells for electron microscopy. The viral capsid precursors
first appear as closed membrane structures, then develop into headphone
shape structures and capsid shells. We identified viral intermediates
showing that the viral DNA is packaged into viral capsid during capsid
formation. Knockdown of MCP disrupts the viral morphogenesis and diminishes
the production of viral particles, while knockdown of viral DNA core protein
leads to reduction of viral titer and deformities in viral particles.
