• Gagging

  The gag gene codifies for a gag polyprotein containing the matrix (MA), capsid (CA) and the nucleocapsid (NC) domains which, in the maturation process, are spliced into independent peptides. [gydb.org]

  The arrow between gag-pro indicates a ribosomal readthrough site. Figure 7 Lentivirus genome expression. [talk.ictvonline.org]

  Another variant, Phoenix-gp, contains only Gag-Pol and enables additional flexibility in pseudotyping. [addgene.org]

  This gives rise to the unspliced full length mRNA that will serve as genomic RNA to be packaged into virions or used as a template for translation of gag(pro) and gag(pro)-pol (1 ribosomal frameshift) polyproteins. [viralzone.expasy.org]
