Recognition of the Murine Coronavirus Genomic RNA Packaging Signal Depends on the Second RNA-Binding Domain of the Nucleocapsid Protein
6 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) protein forms a helical ribonucleoprotein with the viral positive-strand RNA genome and binds to the principal constituent of the virion envelope, the membrane (M) protein, to facilitate assembly and budding. Besides these structural roles, N protein associates with a component of the replicase-transcriptase complex, nonstructural protein 3, at a critical early stage...
