Higher-Order Structure of the Rous Sarcoma Virus SP Assembly Domain
6 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Purified retroviral Gag proteins can assemble in vitro to form immature virus-like particles (VLPs). By cryoelectron tomography, Rous sarcoma virus VLPs show an organized hexameric lattice consisting chiefly of the capsid (CA) domain, with periodic stalk-like densities below the lattice. We hypothesize that the structure represented by these densities is formed by amino acid residues immediately...
