The structure of Shigella virus Sf14 reveals the presence of two decoration proteins and two long tail fibers

Abstract Bacteriophage Sf14 infects the human pathogen Shigella flexneri. A previous low-resolution structure suggested the presence of a decoration protein on its T = 9 icosahedral capsid. Here, we determined high-resolution structures of the Sf14 capsid and neck, along with a moderate-resolution s...
