Importance of RNA length for in vitro encapsidation by the nucleoprotein of human respiratory syncytial virus
2 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory syncytial virus has a negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome constitutively encapsidated by the viral nucleoprotein N, forming a helical nucleocapsid which is the template for viral transcription and replication by the viral polymerase L. Recruitment of L onto the nucleocapsid depends on the viral phosphoprotein P, which is an essential L cofactor. A prerequisite for genome and antigenome...
