Encapsidation of RNA-1 was found to require a sequence domain in the 5′-proximal part of the P15 gene, the 3′-proximal gene of RNA-1. On the other hand, the subgenomic RNA which encodes P15 was not encapsidated, suggesting that other features of RNA-1 are important as well. Two sequences which could drive encapsidation of RNA-2 deletion mutants were located. One was in the 5′-proximal coat protein gene and the other in the P14 gene near the RNA 3′ terminus. There were no obvious sequence homologies between the different assembly initiation sequences., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/vir.0.19247-0
