NMR Structure of the N-terminal Coiled Coil Domain of the Andes Hantavirus Nucleocapsid Protein
Structural highlights
FunctionNCAP_ANDV Encapsidates the genome protecting it from nucleases (Probable). The encapsidated genomic RNA is termed the nucleocapsid (NC) and serves as template for transcription and replication (Probable). The nucleocapsid has a left-handed helical structure (By similarity). As a trimer, specifically binds and acts as a chaperone to unwind the panhandle structure formed by the viral RNA (vRNA) termini (By similarity). Involved in the transcription and replication initiation of vRNA by mediating primer annealing (By similarity). Plays a role in cap snatching by sequestering capped RNAs in P bodies for use by the viral RdRp during transcription initiation (By similarity). Substitutes for the cellular cap-binding complex (eIF4F) to preferentially facilitate the translation of capped mRNAs (By similarity). Initiates the translation by specifically binding to the cap and 40S ribosomal subunit (By similarity). Prevents the viral glycoprotein N (Gn) from autophagy-dependent breakdown maybe by blocking autophagosome formation (By similarity). Inhibits host EIF2AK2/PKR dimerization to prevent PKR-induced translational shutdown in cells and thus the activation of the antiviral state (PubMed:25410857). Inhibits IFN signaling responses directed by the dsRNA sensors RIGI and IFIH1/MDA5, probably by interacting with host E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 (PubMed:24549848). As a consequence, TBK1-directed IRF3 phosphorylation and TBK1 autophosphorylation are inhibited (PubMed:24549848, PubMed:30867297). Also displays sequence-unspecific DNA endonuclease activity (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P05133][UniProtKB:Q89462][1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe hantaviruses are emerging infectious viruses that in humans can cause a cardiopulmonary syndrome or a hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The nucleocapsid (N) is the most abundant viral protein, and during viral assembly, the N protein forms trimers and packages the viral RNA genome. Here, we report the NMR structure of the N-terminal domain (residues 1-74, called N1-74) of the Andes hantavirus N protein. N1-74 forms two long helices (alpha1 and alpha2) that intertwine into a coiled coil domain. The conserved hydrophobic residues at the helix alpha1-alpha2 interface stabilize the coiled coil; however, there are many conserved surface residues whose function is not known. Site-directed mutagenesis, CD spectroscopy, and immunocytochemistry reveal that a point mutation in the conserved basic surface formed by Arg22 or Lys26 lead to antibody recognition based on the subcellular localization of the N protein. Thus, Arg22 and Lys26 are likely involved in a conformational change or molecular recognition when the N protein is trafficked from the cytoplasm to the Golgi, the site of viral assembly and maturation.
