A model for CPMV virion and empty VLP assembly. Pentamers are made up of large (L, green) and small (S, blue) subunits. The C-terminal extension is represented by the violet circle. RNA is the orange rectangle. In RNA free assembly (upper panel) C-terminal cleavage is slow. In the presence of RNA (bottom panel), the C-terminal extension is cleaved fast and RNA binds at the 2-fold axis.
