Crystal Structure of a vesicular stomatitis virus nucleocapsid-RNA complex
Overview
Vesicular stomatitis virus is a negative-stranded RNA virus. Its, nucleoprotein (N) binds the viral genomic RNA and is involved in multiple, functions including transcription, replication, and assembly. We have, determined a 2.9 angstrom structure of a complex containing 10 molecules, of the N protein and 90 bases of RNA. The RNA is tightly sequestered in a, cavity at the interface between two lobes of the N protein. This serves to, protect the RNA in the absence of polynucleotide synthesis. For the RNA to, be accessed, some conformational change in the N protein should be, necessary.
