Heavy atom positions were found by using vector search and difference Fourier methods. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit form a dimer with its 2-fold axis perpendicular to and intersecting with a crystallographic 4(1) axis. Thus, the dimers are arranged so that they form fibers that are coincident with the 4(1) axes. A polypeptide model, corresponding with the known residue sequence, has been fitted to the electron density map to produce a structure that consists of four domains. All four have an alpha/beta structure; the first three have a somewhat similar topology that is based on a mixed parallel/antiparallel beta sheet, whereas the fourth is based on an antiparallel sheet. The active site lies between the four domains, with the phosphoserine residue in the first domain and some of the probable substrate-...

Infectious virions of canine parvovirus contain 60 protein subunits that are predominantly VP-2. The central structural motif of VP-2 has the same topology (an eight-stranded antiparallel beta barrel) as has been found in many other icosahedral viruses but represents only about one-third of the capsid protein. There is a 22 angstrom (A) long protrusion on the threefold axes, a 15 A deep canyon circulating about each of the five cylindrical structures at the fivefold axes, and a 15 A deep depression at the twofold axes. By analogy with rhinoviruses, the canyon may be the site of receptor attachment. Residues related to the antigenic properties of the virus are found on the threefold protrusions. Some of the amino termini of VP-2 run to the exterior in full but not empty virions, which is consistent with the observation that some VP-2 polypeptides in full particles can be cleaved by trypsin. Eleven nucleotides are seen in each of 60 symmetry-related pockets on the interior surface of the capsid and together account for 13 percent of the genome.

The structure of the core protein comprising the coat surrounding the genomic RNA has been determined. The polypeptide fold from residue 114 to residue 264 is homologous to that of chymotrypsin-like serine proteinases with catalytic residues His 141, Asp 163 and Ser 215 of the core protein positioned as in other serine proteinases. The C-terminal tryptophan remains in the P1 substrate site subsequent to the autocatalytic cis cleavage of the capsid protein, thus rendering the proteinase inactive. Model building of the Sindbis core protein dimer shows that the nucleocapsid is likely to have T = 4 quasisymmetry.
