Viral Proteins Categories.
 |
Retroviridae Proteins - Proteins from the family Retroviridae. The most frequently encountered member of this family is the Rous sarcoma virus protein. |
|
Viral Nonstructural Proteins - Viral proteins that are coded by nonstructural genes and usually have an unknown function. Some of these proteins may play structural roles within the infected cell during replication or act in virus regulation. |
|
Viral Structural Proteins - Viral proteins that do not regulate transcription. They are coded by viral structural genes and include nucleocapsid core proteins (gag proteins), enzymes (pol proteins), and membrane components (env proteins). Transcription of viral structural genes is regulated by viral regulatory proteins. |
