The Respiratory Syncytial Virus nucleoprotein-RNA complex forms a left-handed helical nucleocapsid.
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23677789
Function
[NCAP_HRSVA] Encapsidates the genome, protecting it from nucleases. The nucleocapsid (NC) has a helical structure. The encapsidated genomic RNA is termed the NC and serves as template for transcription and replication. During replication, encapsidation by protein N is coupled to RNA synthesis and all replicative products are resistant to nucleases.[1]
About this Structure
4bkk is a 24 chain structure with sequence from Human respiratory syncytial virus a strain long. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
