Masses of virion-derived HIV-1 Env fractions

Env fraction Mass [kDa (no. of subunitsa)] measured by:
Sedimentation equilibrium (wt avg) STEM (no. avg)
48 488.5 (3.32) 457 (3.10)
49 525.7 (3.57)
50 459.9 (3.12) 448 (3.04)
51 471.9 (3.20)
a

The mass of one subunit (147.3 kDa) was estimated by summing the protein mass deduced from the amino acid sequence and a value of 1.739 kDa for each potential N-linked glycosylation site (see the text regarding sedimentation equilibrium analysis).
