Nucleoprotein

UniProtKB accession:  P89522

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Binds dsRNA and ssRNA and probably participates in the packaging of viral genome. In the dsRNA binding mode, the nucleocapsid protein specifically binds to the vRNA panhandle secondary structure formed at the termini of viral genome. Does not discriminate between viral and nonviral RNAs through ssRNA binding mode (PubMed:28922369). Displays dsDNA endonuclease activity that is sequence non-specific (PubMed:22421137).
