Description

The sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV) infects Sulfolobus species found in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. It has 37 ORFs including B116, whose function is unknown. The structure of B116 reveals a fold consisting of a five-stranded β-sheet flanked on one side by three α helices. Two subunits come together to form a homodimer with a 10-stranded mixed β-sheet, where the topology of the central strands resembles an unclosed β-barrel
