of the constituent subunits. lambda-1
(relative molecular mass (M[r]) 142K (ref.46), 120 copies; shown
in red) forms the shell that packages RNA and defines the
symmetry and size of the particle. 2
(M[r] 47K, 150 copies; shown as yellow, green and white nodules)
stabilizes the 1
shell. 2
(M[ r] 144K, 60 copies; shown in blue) forms turret-like
structures around the fivefold axes that cap the nascent mRNA
and organize its extrusion.
