The localization and function of alkaline protease inside the supervirion capsids (granules, inclusion bodies) of granulosis virus and nuclear polyhedrosis virus have been determined with the help of electron microscopy. It has been shown that deproteinization of baculoviruses proceeds in several steps. The first two stages (the release of virus from supervirion capsids and the release of nucleocapsids from the internal and external coats, were accomplished in the intestine of the insects, while the third stage (the release of nucleic molecules from the nucleocapsids) took place in the nucleoplasm of intestinal epithelial cells.

D007915	Lepidoptera	A large order of insects comprising the butterflies and moths.
D010447	Peptide Hydrolases	Hydrolases that specifically cleave the peptide bonds found in PROTEINS and PEPTIDES. Examples of sub-subclasses for this group include EXOPEPTIDASES and ENDOPEPTIDASES.	Peptidase,Peptidases,Peptide Hydrolase,Protease,Proteases,Proteinase,Proteinases,Proteolytic Enzyme,Proteolytic Enzymes,Esteroproteases,Enzyme, Proteolytic,Hydrolase, Peptide
D002213	Capsid	The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014764	Viral Proteins	Proteins found in any species of virus.	Gene Products, Viral,Viral Gene Products,Viral Gene Proteins,Viral Protein,Protein, Viral,Proteins, Viral
