Figure 7. Modelling portal protein maturation.

Figure 7

(a) Cut-open representation of P22 procapsid (EMD-1827) with the ribbon structure of portal protein (in red) overlaid to the cryo-EM density. (b) Magnified side view of the PC-portal protomer found in procapsid. (c) Cut-open representation of P22 mature virion (EMD-1220) with the ribbon structure of portal protein (in red) overlaid to the cryo-EM density. Magnified on the right is a top view of MV-portal protein surrounded by three rings of DNA visible in the cryo-EM reconstruction. (d) Magnified side view of the MV-portal protomer surrounded by the three rings of DNA.
