cytoplasm

Polyprotein precursor of viral proteins VP2, NS and VP3, exact sites of cleavage of polyprotein are unknown.

virion

 

 

 

virion

pre VP2 cleaved to produce VP2,  both forms found in virion.  VP2 is major capsid protein, type specific and neutralising antigen. O-linked glycosylation

NS

221

-

non-structural 

Apparently unique protease, active site at carboxy end, NS processed to NSt and NSta

VP3

235

(30)

-

internal capsid

Group specific antigen

68-511

VP5

148

(17)

-

 

Positively charged non-structural protein, from separate ORF. Anti apoptosis protein (1)

Segment B

(2784)

101-2638

VP1

(Pol, VPg)

845

(94)

-

Virion,

both as free and genome-linked forms

Semi conservative RNA dependent RNA polymerase , protein covalently linked to 5’ end of both genome segments, via terminal ‘G’ residue (VPg). VP1 can self guanylate, which may provide a starting point for RNA chain elongation but there is no evidence for capping or guanylyltransferase activity.

': To facilitate comparisons of proteins across species, genera and families, protein structure / function indicators can be added to protein names: (Pol) = RNA polymerase; Genome linked protein = (VPg)
