When TMV reassembles, the uncoated RNA is folded back along the growing rod, probably down the central hole. This surprising configuration is essential for rapid elongation--presumably supplying RNA to its site of incorporation while keeping the bulk of the free RNA out of the way.
当烟草花叶病毒重新组装时,未被包裹的核糖核酸沿着正在生长的病毒杆折叠回去,很可能是沿着中心孔折叠。这种令人惊讶的结构对于快速延长至关重要——大概是在将大部分游离核糖核酸排除在外的同时,为核糖核酸提供其整合位点。
