... foldeddomains of Gag are then able to reassemble as inde-pendent proteins. The matrix protein (MA; the GagN-terminal domain), remains associated with the viralmembrane, forming a discontinuous inner ... as a part of Gag, as anunassembled protein, and as an independent proteinforming the mature capsid. Remarkably, the CA poly-peptide appears to have evolved an extraordinary con-formational ...
