In addition, 240 calcium ions are incorporated per capsid during assembly. The capsid encapsulates the two genomic RNAs. Capsid maturation occurs via autoproteolytic cleavage of capsid protein alpha generating capsid protein beta and the membrane-active peptide gamma. Peptide gamma: membrane-permeabilizing peptide produced by virus maturation, thereby creating the infectious virion. After endocytosis into the host cell, peptide gamma is probably exposed in endosomes, where it permeabilizes the endosomal membrane, facilitating translocation of viral capsid or RNA into the cytoplasm (Probable).
