FIG. 46.
The arrangement of proteins in BTV is shown in a series of schematic diagrams. (A) Placement of the individual structural proteins in the multilayered virion. (B) Arrangement of the proteins in the core in which the T=13 VP7 layer sits atop the “T=2” VP2 shell which surrounds the 10 segments of dsRNA. (C) The outer surface of VP2 sits atop the VP5 layer which mediates its interaction with the VP7 layers. Adapted from reference 332 with the permission of the authors and the publisher.
