Interaction of vesicular stomatitis virus P and N proteins: identification of two overlapping domains at the N terminus of P that are involved in N0-P complex formation and encapsidation of viral genome RNA.

Abstract excerpt

The nucleocapsid (N) protein of nonsegmented negative-strand (NNS) RNA viruses, when expressed in eukaryotic cells, aggregates and forms nucleocapsid-like complexes with cellular RNAs. The phosphoprotein (P) has been shown to prevent such aggregation by forming a soluble complex with the N protein free from cellular RNAs (designated N(0)). The N(0)-P complex presumably mediates specific encapsidation of the viral...
