Multimerisation domain of Borna disease virus 1
Structural highlights
FunctionPHOSP_BDVV Essential component of the RNA polymerase transcription and replication complex. Acts as a scaffold which brings L in close proximity to the N-RNA complex. Plays a role in the segregation of the viral genome in host daughter cells during mitosis by interacting with host HMGB1, a host chromatin-remodeling DNA architectural protein, thereby stabilizing RNP on chromosomes. Interacts with host TBK1 and thus interferes with activation of cellular antiviral state. Inhibits cellular histone acetyltransferase activities.[UniProtKB:P0C798][1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedBornaviruses are RNA viruses with a mammalian, reptilian, and avian host range. The viruses infect neuronal cells and in rare cases cause a lethal encephalitis. The family Bornaviridae are part of the Mononegavirales order of viruses, which contain a nonsegmented viral genome. Mononegavirales encode a viral phosphoprotein (P) that binds both the viral polymerase (L) and the viral nucleoprotein (N). The P protein acts as a molecular chaperone and is required for the formation of a functional replication/transcription complex. In this study, the structure of the oligomerization domain of the phosphoprotein determined by X-ray crystallography is reported. The structural results are complemented with biophysical characterization using circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetry and small-angle X-ray scattering. The data reveal the phosphoprotein to assemble into a stable tetramer, with the regions outside the oligomerization domain remaining highly flexible. A helix-breaking motif is observed between the alpha-helices at the midpoint of the oligomerization domain that appears to be conserved across the Bornaviridae. These data provide information on an important component of the bornavirus replication complex.
