Giant viruses are large DNA viruses that infect unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes and form exceptionally large extracellular particles. (Meta)genomics and (meta)transcriptomics have provided insight into their diverse coding repertoire, but many of the proteins remain to be characterized as they lack homology with known proteins. Here, we integrated cross-linking mass spectrometry, quantitative proteomics, computational tools and cryo-EM data to characterize the protein architecture of intact melbournevirus particles. Based on this, we allocated 88 viral proteins to different virion sub-compartments and proposed topologies of 25 inner membrane proteins. We assigned eight components of the capsid in cryo-EM data, including proteins that tether the capsid shell to the membrane, reflecting key points in virion maturation. The data provide a valuable resource and demonstrate the power of an integrative approach to gain system-level structural insights into a poorly characterized biological system.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
