Fig. 1

The left panel reports the three different viruses along with the class they belong to (upper part of each individual panel). On the right, the N-glycan structures of PBCV-1 antigenic variants are reported along with their antigenic classification (upper part of each individual panel). Note that PBCV-1 glycoprotein has 4 N-linked sites, none in a typical consensus sequon13,16,18,20. Dotted linkages in PBCV-1 and P91 N-glycans indicate that certain monosaccharides are non-stoichiometric substituents. The red box in the PBCV-1 N-glycan encloses the four monosaccharide residues conserved in all the chloroviruses studied to date. In ATCV-1, the methyl groups are enclosed in brackets because they are nonstoichiometric substituents.
