Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a negative-strand RNA virus with a non-segmented genome, closely related to rabies virus. Both have characteristic bullet-like shapes. We report the structure of intact, infectious VSV particles determined by cryogenic electron microscopy. By compensating for polymorphism among viral particles with computational classification, we obtained a reconstruction of the shaft (“trunk”) at 3.5 Å resolution, with lower resolution for the rounded tip. The ribonucleoprotein (RNP), genomic RNA complexed with nucleoprotein (N), curls into a dome-like structure with about eight gradually expanding turns before transitioning into the regular helical trunk. Two layers of matrix (M) protein link the RNP with the membrane. Radial inter-layer subunit contacts are fixed within single RNA-N-M1-M2 modules, but flexible lateral and axial interactions allow assembly of polymorphic virions. Together with published structures of recombinant N in various states, our results suggest a mechanism for membrane-coupled self-assembly of VSV and its relatives. Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is the most widely studied prototype for negative-sense RNA viruses. Structure determination of VSV particles is particularly challenging because they are polymorphic with different helical symmetries. Here, Jenni et al. apply computational classification approaches to sort different morphologies, and obtain CryoEM reconstructions at 3.5–4.1 A resolution. They show that the matrix protein (M) is present in the virion in two layers, of which the inner layer associates with N protein of vRNPs.
