One of the more interesting observations about the life cycle of dsRNA viruses is that genome transcription occurs only within structurally intact TCPs. In rotavirus, the transcriptionally competent form of the virus has a double-layered capsid consisting of the structural proteins VP2 and VP6 surrounding the dsRNA genome segments and the enzymatic machinery in the core. Although observation of the actively transcribing rotavirus particle by electron cryomicroscopy has not provided a clear definition of the pathway of mRNA translocation through the inner capsid layer, atomic resolution structural studies of the bluetongue virus TCP have suggested a possible route (Grimes et al., 1998) . ./cache/cord-008575-bbpmlo3c.txt ./txt/cord-008575-bbpmlo3c.txt
