Cartoon showing the mechanism of the interaction between pRNA and procapsid. (A) The pRNA Aa’ can form a hexameric close ring and thus stays bound to procapsid. (B) The pRNA Ab’ cannot form a close ring, thus no stable procapsid/RNA complexes. (C) The pRNA Ab’ can be rescued by addition of the pRNA of Ba’ to form close ring and stays on procapsid.
