The Coiled-coil Domain (residues 1-93) Structure of the Sin Nombre Virus Nucleocapsid Protein
Overview
Hantaviruses can cause hemorrhagic fever with a renal syndrome and, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome when transmitted to humans. The nucleocapsid, protein of hantaviruses encapsidates viral genomic RNA and associates with, transcription and replication complexes. Both the amino and carboxy, termini of the nucleocapsid protein had been predicted to form trimers, prior to the formation of the ribonucleoprotein. Crystal structures of, amino-terminal fragments of the nucleocapsid protein showed the formation, of intramolecular antiparallel coiled coils, but not intermolecular, trimers. Thus, the amino-terminal part of the nucleocapsid protein is, probably insufficient to initiate the trimerization of the full-length, molecule.
