| Comments |
FHV (Nodaviridae family) has a T53
capsid consisting of 180 copies of a single, 44-kDa protein (407
aa) which encapsidates an ssRNA genome (three genes on two
RNA molecules) (Fig. 26). The capsid proteins undergo a postassembly
cleavage required for infectivity. This cleavage produces 180 gamma peptides (C-terminal 44 aa) on the interior of the virus. |
