FIG 6.

Cleavage of RSV Gag protein and VLPs. (a) Coomassie blue-stained, 5 to 15% gradient gel showing cleavage of unassembled GagΔMBD, unassembled GagΔMBD-11C (E227C and T259C), and purified GagΔMBD-11C (E227C and T259C) VLPs. The lanes represent protein with or without GT25 oligonucleotide (+/−) and with or without PR (+/−). The numbers in lanes 5 and 6 correspond to identification of products in panel b. (b) Lanes 5 and 6 were copied from panel a, with each band annotated to indicate the corresponding cleavage product (see Materials and Methods). Band 9 is protease.
