Function
PRO_MPMV Matrix protein. Nucleocapsid protein p14: Nucleocapsid protein. Capsid protein. The aspartyl protease mediates proteolytic cleavages of Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins during or shortly after the release of the virion from the plasma membrane. Cleavages take place as an ordered, step-wise cascade to yield mature proteins. This process is called maturation. Displays maximal activity during the budding process just prior to particle release from the cell.[PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00275][1] The aspartyl protease mediates proteolytic cleavages of Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins during or shortly after the release of the virion from the plasma membrane.

Displays maximal activity during the budding process just prior to particle release from the cell.[PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00275][2] Enhances the activity of the reverse transcriptase. May be part of the mature RT.[3]
