In vitro assembly of the Rous Sarcoma Virus capsid protein into hexamer tubes at physiological temperature
Abstract During a proteolytically-driven maturation process, the orthoretroviral capsid protein (CA) assembles to form the convex shell that surrounds the viral genome. In some orthoretroviruses, including Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV), CA carries a short and hydrophobic spacer peptide (SP) at its C-term...
