C terminal domain of Nipah Virus Phosphoprotein fused to the Ntail alpha more of the Nucleoprotein.
Structural highlights
FunctionPHOSP_NIPAV Essential component of the RNA polymerase transcription and replication complex. Binds the viral ribonucleocapsid and positions the L polymerase on the template (By similarity). May play a role to prevent the establishment of cellular antiviral state by binding to host STAT1 in the cytoplasm. This activity is not as strong as that of V and W. Publication Abstract from PubMedTo understand the dynamic interactions between the phosphoprotein (P) and the nucleoprotein (N) within the transcription/replication complex of the Paramyxoviridae and to decipher their roles in regulating viral multiplication, we characterized the structural properties of the C-terminal X domain (PXD) of Nipah (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) P protein. In crystals, isolated NiV PXD adopted a two-helix dimeric conformation, which was incompetent for binding its partners, but in complex with the C-terminal intrinsically disordered tail of the N protein (NTAIL), it folded into a canonical 3H bundle conformation. In solution, SEC-MALLS, SAXS and NMR spectroscopy experiments indicated that both NiV and HeV PXD were larger in size than expected for compact proteins of the same molecular mass and were in conformational exchange between a compact three-helix (3H) bundle and partially unfolded conformations, where helix alpha3 is detached from the other two. Some measurements also provided strong evidence for dimerization of NiV PXD in solution but not for HeV PXD. Ensemble modeling of experimental SAXS data and statistical-dynamical modeling reconciled all these data, yielding a model where NiV and HeV PXD exchanged between different conformations, and where NiV but not HeV PXD formed dimers. Finally, recombinant NiV comprising a chimeric P carrying HeV PXD was rescued and compared with parental NiV. Experiments carried out in cellula demonstrated that the replacement of PXD did not significantly affect the replication dynamics while caused a slight virus attenuation, suggesting a possible role of the dimerization of NiV PXD in viral replication.
