TABLE 1.
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) |
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).
