Fig. 9C: Translation of HIV mRNA:
The Gag-Pol Polyprotein

Synthesis of Gag-Pol polyproteins
(p160). These polyproteins will eventually be cleaved by HIV proteases to become
HIV matrix proteins (MA; p17), capsid proteins (CA; p24), proteinase molecules
(protease or PR; p10), reverse transcriptase molecules (RT; p66/p51), and integrase
molecules (IN; p32)
