Function
V5K505_RHDV Capsid protein VP60 self assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=3 symmetry, about 35 nm in diameter, and consisting of 180 capsid proteins. A smaller form of capsid with a diameter of 23 nm might be capsid proteins assembled as icosahedron with T=1 symmetry. The capsid encapsulate VP2 proteins and genomic or subgenomic RNA. Attaches virion to target cells by binding histo-blood group antigens, inducing endocytosis of the viral particle. Acidification of the endosome induces conformational change of capsid protein thereby injecting virus genomic RNA into host cytoplasm.[ARBA:ARBA00024666]
