Observation of arenavirus nucleoprotein heptamer assembly

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1076-1083, April 2021., 2021
The nucleoprotein associates with RNA to form a ribonucleoprotein complex. The nucleoprotein trends to self‐assemble into heptameric rings. Theses rings represent stable intermediate states representative of the average full turn of the Arenaviridae ribonucleoprotein filament.
