This study characterizes the structure of Turnip yellows virus particles using cryo-EM and immunogold labelling, showing that RTP* insertion is random and does not disrupt capsid structure.

This study reveals how the {sigma}B factor induces RNAP oligomerization into a supramolecular complex, leading to auto-inhibition of transcription initiation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The paper determines the in situ structure of rotavirus VP1 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase using local reconstruction, showing conformational changes during transcription and stochastic distribution of VP1 molecules.
