SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid protein phase‐separates with RNA and with human hnRNPs

Abstract excerpt

Tightly packed complexes of nucleocapsid protein and genomic RNA form the core of viruses and assemble within viral factories, dynamic compartments formed within the host cells associated with human stress granules. Here, we test the possibility that the multivalent RNA-binding nucleocapsid protein (N) from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) condenses with RNA via liquid-liquid phase...
