Structure of the N-terminal RNA-binding Domain of the SARS CoV Nucleocapsid Protein
Overview
The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus belongs to the, Coronaviridea family of viruses. Its virion encodes several proteins, including a replicase and four structural proteins. Here we describe the, three-dimensional structure of the N-terminal domain of the SARS, coronavirus (CoV) nucleocapsid protein. The protein consists of a, five-stranded beta sheet with a folding topology distinct from other, RNA-binding proteins. Single-stranded RNAs bind to the protein surface at, the junction between a flexible, positively charged beta hairpin and the, core structure. NMR-based screening was used to identify low molecular, weight compounds that bind to this site.
