== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CAPSD_BPMS2 CAPSD_BPMS2] Self-assembles to form the T=3 icosahedral virus shell that protects the viral nucleic acid. Acts as a translational repressor by binding with high specificity to a single stem-loop structure in the genomic RNA that contains the initiation codon of the gene for the viral replicase. Involved in virus assembly through the interaction between a capsid protein dimer and the multiple packaging signals present in the RNA genome.<ref>PMID:16531233</ref> <ref>PMID:18662904</ref> <ref>PMID:26608810</ref> <ref>PMID:8254664</ref> <ref>PMID:9245600</ref> <ref>PMID:9469847</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Crystal structures of two complexes between recombinant MS2 capsids and RNA operator fragments have been determined at 2.7 A resolution. The coat protein of the RNA bacteriophage MS2 is bifunctional; it forms the icosahedral virus shell to protect the viral nucleic acid and it acts as a translational repressor by binding with high specificity to a unique site on the RNA, a single stem-loop structure, containing the initiation codon of the gene for the viral replicase. In order to determine the structure of these protein-RNA complexes, we have used chemically synthesized variants of the stem-loop fragment and soaked them into crystals of recombinant capsids. The RNA stem-loop, as bound to the protein, forms a crescent-like structure and interacts with the surface of the beta-sheet of a coat protein dimer. It makes protein contacts with seven phosphate groups on the 5' side of the stem-loop, with a pyrimidine base at position -5, which stacks onto a tyrosine, and with two exposed adenine bases, one in the loop and one at a bulge in the stem. Replacement of the wild-type uridine with a cytosine at position -5 increases the affinity of the RNA to the dimer significantly. The complex with RNA stem-loop having cytosine at this position differs from that of the wild-type complex mainly by having one extra intramolecular RNA interaction and one extra water-mediated hydrogen bond.

The three-dimensional structures of two complexes between recombinant MS2 capsids and RNA operator fragments reveal sequence-specific protein-RNA interactions.,Valegard K, Murray JB, Stonehouse NJ, van den Worm S, Stockley PG, Liljas L J Mol Biol. 1997 Aug 1;270(5):724-38.
