Time-Resolved Fluorescence Investigation of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Nucleocapsid Protein: Influence of the Binding of Nucleic Acids [PDF]
Depending on the HIV-1 isolate, MN or BH10, the nucleocapsid protein, NCp7, corresponds to a 55- or 71-amino acid length product, respectively. The MN NCp7 contains a single Trp residue at position 37 in the distal zinc finger motif, and the BH10 NCp7 ...

Nucleocapsid protein structures from orthobunyaviruses reveal insight into ribonucleoprotein architecture and RNA polymerization [PDF]
All orthobunyaviruses possess three genome segments of single-stranded negative sense RNA that are encapsidated with the virus-encoded nucleocapsid (N) protein to form a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, which is uncharacterized at high resolution.

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.

Serodominant SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Peptides Map to Unstructured Protein Regions
The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein is highly immunogenic, and anti-N antibodies are commonly used as markers for prior infection. While several studies have examined or predicted the antigenic regions of N, these have lacked consensus and structural

The Nucleocapsid of Berne Virus
In Berne virus-infected cells and in gradient-purified virions two major proteins with mol. wt. of 20K and 22K were detected. The 22K species is thought to represent the main envelope polypeptide; in infectious culture media it was present in a low envelope polypeptide; in infectious culture media it was present in a low density substructure which ...

Functional analysis of the orthobunyavirus nucleocapsid (N) protein [PDF]
Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototype of the family Bunyaviridae. It has a tripartite genome consisting of negative sense RNA segments called large (L), medium (M) and small (S). The S segment encodes the nucleocapsid protein (N) of 233 amino acids.
