Portal protein functions akin to a DNA-sensor that couples genome-packaging to icosahedral capsid maturation

Tailed bacteriophages assemble empty precursor capsids known as procapsids that are subsequently filled with viral DNA by a genome-packaging motor. Here the authors present a structure-based analysis that suggests the signal for termination of genome packaging is achieved through a DNA-dependent sym...
