Structure and assembly of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid [PDF]
Ebola and Marburg viruses are filoviruses: filamentous, enveloped viruses that cause haemorrhagic fever. Filoviruses are within the order Mononegavirales, which also includes rabies virus, measles virus, and respiratory syncytial virus. Mononegaviruses have non-segmented, single-stranded negative-sense RNA genomes that are encapsidated by nucleoprotein

Nucleocapsid and glycoprotein organization in an enveloped virus [PDF]
Alphaviruses are a group of icosahedral, positive-strand RNA, enveloped viruses. The membrane bilayer, which surrounds the approximately 400 A diameter nucleocapsid, is penetrated by 80 spikes arranged in a T = 4 lattice. Each spike is a trimer of heterodimers consisting of glycoproteins E1 and E2.

Antibody Screening Results for Anti-Nucleocapsid Antibodies Towards the Development of a SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein Antigen Detecting Lateral Flow Assay [PDF]
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent demand for large numbers of inexpensive, accurate, rapid, point-of-care diagnostic tests. Analyte-based assays are suitably inexpensive and can be rapidly mass-produced, but for sufficiently accurate ...

SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Assembly Inhibitors: Repurposing Antiviral and Antimicrobial Drugs Targeting Nucleocapsid-RNA Interaction [PDF]
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has become a serious concern due to high transmission of this virus and unavailability of any definitive drugs yet in clinics. While novel antivirals are under investigation stage, scientists are also rigorously trying to use drug ...

Nucleocapsid- and Spike-specific IgG levels in saliva of newly positive, asymptomatic individuals versus prior positive, asymptomatic individuals. [PDF]
Saliva from NewPOS individuals infected with either CoV2US (n = 16) or CoV2Alpha (n = 15), as well as PCRNEG saliva from individuals who had been infected 2–37 weeks prior (PriorPOS, n = 402) with either CoV2US, CoV2Alpha, or a non-VOC, were used to ...

The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N) binds a single-stranded viral RNA genome to form a helical ribonucleoprotein complex that is packaged into virion particles. N is relatively conserved among coronaviruses and consists of the N-terminal domain (NTD)

Specific Recognition of a Stem-Loop RNA Structure by the Alphavirus Capsid Protein
Alphaviruses are small enveloped viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes. During infection, the alphavirus capsid protein (Cp) selectively packages and assembles with the viral genomic RNA to form the nucleocapsid core, a process critical to the ...

Form-determining functions in Sindbis virus nucleocapsids: nucleosomelike organization of the nucleocapsid [PDF]
Purified intact Sindbis virus nucleocapsids were treated at different pH values or with various concentrations of divalent cations, cation chelators, salt, or formamide. The resulting structures were examined by velocity sedimentation, electron microscopy, and protein-protein cross-linking.
