Petal Power
By Tessa Quax and David Prangishvili, Institut Pasteur
The archaeal virus SIRV2 employs an unusual means of escaping from its host. A 7-faced pyramidal structure is formed on the host cell surface from virus-encoded 10kDa protein and opens like the petals on a flower (shown on the image) to release mature virus particles.
