a, Predicted phenotypes of CA assembly behavior in vitro and CLP shape, as determined by the configuration of the TVGG motif. All but T = 1 icosahedra have been observed previously. be, Morphologies of CLPs formed by the indicated CA constructs in 25 mM MES, pH 6, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, and 5 mM IP6. Scale bars, 200 nm. f, 2D class averages (upper) and cryo-EM structure (lower) of T = 1 icosahedra made by CA-G60A G61P. The map is colored according to local resolution.
