Function
NCAP_SENDO Forms the helical nucleocapsid (NC) in a ratio of 1 N per 6 ribonucleotides, protecting the genome from nucleases (PubMed:33888861). The encapsidated genomic RNA serves as template for transcription and replication; encapsidation by N is coupled to RNA synthesis. Forms the encapsidation complex with the phosphoprotein protein P. Before encapsidation, the newly synthesized free N protein, so-called N0, is chaperoned by P (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P06159][1]
