Finch/Sundquist lab
26
Core formed from ~1200 capsid proteins Arranged in ~96 Å hexagonal lattice
27
maturation What is the structure of the lattice here?
29
In-vitro assembledImmature HIV-1
35
If it is made from 80A hexagons, with six proteins per hexagon then 3400 ± 200 gag proteins
36
Mean mass: 165 ± 29 MDa 3800 ± 700 gag proteins Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
37
145nm immature virion formed from ~5000 Gag proteins Arranged in ~80 Å hexagonal lattice
38
Immature virion Tighter hexagonal lattice with 8 nm unit cell. ~5000 gag proteins form a complete shell for a 145 nm virus Mature virion Looser hexagonal lattice with 9.6 nm unit cell. ~1200 CA proteins form the conical core, leaving a large number elsewhere
