Structural studies on the authentic mumps virus nucleocapsid showing uncoiling by the phosphoprotein
6 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mumps virus (MuV) is a highly contagious pathogen, and despite extensive vaccination campaigns, outbreaks continue to occur worldwide. The virus has a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome that is encapsidated by the nucleocapsid protein (N) to form the nucleocapsid (NC). NC serves as the template for both transcription and replication. In this paper we solved an 18-Å-resolution structure of the authentic...
