Additional information: |
Gene LH3 encodes a 42 kDa protein which forms prominent trimeric knobs on the virion surface around the threefold axis of symmetry (Fig. 1). |
Virus structure at 10.6 Ã… resolution as determined by cryoelectron microscopy. The particle is viewed along a fivefold axis of symmetry (pink dots). Yellow dots indicate LH3 trimers. The threefold axis passes through the center of the triangle. Length of bar (nm): 50 (Image provided by Radosav Pantelic and modified by the author)
