Nucleoprotein
From Proteopedia
Nucleoproteins (NP) are associated with DNA or RNA. NPs which contain RNA are called ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). The NP RNA-recognition motif is named RRM. The small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are RNA-protein complexes which form part of the spliceosome. The heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNP) are RNA-protein complexes which associates with the splicing apparatus and prevent the folding of pre-mRNA. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative NP, i.e. the crystal structure of Nucleoprotein from Vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus (3pto). For homology model and multiple sequence alignment see User:Michael Strong/H1N1/NP and User:Michael Strong/H1N1/NP/MSA.
