Nucleocapsid Incorporation into Parainfluenza Virus Is Regulated by Specific Interaction with Matrix Protein
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
The paramyxovirus nucleoproteins (NPs) encapsidate the genomic RNA into nucleocapsids, which are then incorporated into virus particles. We determined the protein-protein interaction between NP molecules and the molecular mechanism required for incorporating nucleocapsids into virions in two closely related viruses, human parainfluenza virus type 1 (hPIV1) and Sendai virus (SV). Expression of NP from cDNA...
