Structure of Schmallenberg Orthobunyavirus Nucleoprotein Suggests a Novel Mechanism of Genome Encapsidation
7 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Schmallenberg virus (SBV), a newly emerged orthobunyavirus (family Bunyaviridae), has spread rapidly across Europe and has caused congenital abnormalities in the offspring of cattle, sheep, and goats. Like other orthobunyaviruses, SBV contains a tripartite negative-sense RNA genome that encodes four structural and two nonstructural proteins. The nucleoprotein (N) encapsidates the three viral genomic RNA segments...
