The 42K protein of rice dwarf virus is a post-translational cleavage product of the 46K outer capsid protein.
The outer capsid protein (P8) heterogeneity of rice dwarf virus (RDV) exists not only in purified virus particles, but also in RDV-infected rice, transgenic rice expressing P8, E. coli expression of P8 product and the in vitro translation products of S8. N-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed that P8 is a cleavage product of P8'. The cleavage occurs specifically at the residues of Asp362 and Pro363. The function of the proteolytic processing is unknown.
