CC   -!- FUNCTION: Assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=7 symmetry.
CC       The icosahedral capsid is about 60 nm in diameter and composed of 415
CC       major capsid proteins. The assembly is primed by the interaction
CC       between capsid assembly protease and portal dodecamer, and major capsid
CC       proteins assemble cooperatively to form the procapsid with the help of
CC       capsid scaffolding protein. Major capsid protein forms hexons and
CC       pentons of the icosahedron. Viral genomic DNA is packaged into the
CC       procapsid through the portal vertex. The packaging triggers a dramatic
CC       reconfiguration of the capsid shell.
