Self‐Assembly of Measles Virus Nucleocapsid‐like Particles: Kinetics and RNA Sequence Dependence
6 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
Measles virus RNA genomes are packaged into helical nucleocapsids (NCs), comprising thousands of nucleo-proteins (N) that bind the entire genome. N-RNA provides the template for replication and transcription by the viral polymerase and is a promising target for viral inhibition. Elucidation of mechanisms regulating this process has been severely hampered by the inability to controllably assemble NCs. Here, we...
