Oligomerization of Mumps Virus Phosphoprotein [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2015 ABSTRACT The mumps virus (MuV) genome encodes a phosphoprotein (P) that is important for viral RNA synthesis. P forms the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase with the large protein (L). P also interacts with the viral nucleoprotein (NP) and self-associates to form a homotetramer.
