Flavivirus Structure
Figure 1. Flavivirus Structure. (A) Schematic representation of a flavivirus particle. Left: immature virion; right: mature virion. The unstructured spherical capsid contains the positive-stranded genomic RNA and multiple copies of the capsid protein C. Immature virions are covered by spiky complexes of 60 trimers of prM-E heterodimers. The proteolytic cleavage of prM results in the reorganization of the E proteins and the formation of smooth-surfaced particles covered with 90 E dimers. sE: soluble form of E that lacks the membrane anchor and an adjacent sequence element called ‘stem’.
