core

Inner capsid structural protein, binds dsRNA and zinc, putative NTPase, helicase and 5’-triphosphate phospohydrolase.

Structurally comparable to the orbivirus sub core protein VP3, the rotavirus inner capsid protein VP2, phytoreovirus inner capsid protein P2 and cypovirus capsid shell protein VP1.

outer capsid

Multimerizes with s3. Cleaved to m1C and m1N, which assume T=13 symmetry in the outer capsid

m1C is cleaved to d and f during the entry process. Myristoylated N-terminus, membrane penetration

N / S

Binds ssRNA and virus cores, primary determinant of inclusion body formation [1], interacts with m2 and sNS, phosphoprotein, coiled coil motifs, transcriptase interaction, genome packaging?

µNSC is from alternate translation start site, unknown function

outer capsid

 

 

 

N / S

Cell attachment protein, homo-trimer, haemagglutinin, type-specific antigen, possible glycosyl hydolase activity , induces apoptosis

basic protein, nonessential, blocks cell cycle progression

0

N / S

ssRNA-binding, associates with mNS during inclusion body formation [1], genome packaging?

S4

(1196)

33-1127

 

s3

outer capsid

dsRNA-binding, multimerizes with µ1C, nuclear and cytoplasmic localisation, translation control

 

': Protein structure/function: RNA polymerase = A(Pol)@; capping enzyme = A(CaP)@; Virus structural protein with T = 13 symmetry = A(T13)"; )". Protein with helicase activity = "(Hel)".

Other species within the genus may have proteins with significant differences in sizes.
