Functional narrative    

Encapsidates the genome in a ratio of one N per six ribonucleotides, protecting it from nucleases. The nucleocapsid (NC) has a helical structure with 13.07 N per turn. The encapsidated genomic RNA is termed the NC and serves as template for transcription and replication. Replication is dependent on intracellular concentration of newly synthesized N, termed N0, which corresponds to the protein not associated with RNA. In contrast, when associated with RNA, it is termed N. During replication, encapsidation by N0 is coupled to RNA synthesis and all replicative products are resistant to nucleases.

Comments:
Houben, et al (2007), used a synthetic coding of the Harris strain of SeV N-Tail that has the same amino acid sequence as the Fushimi strain (UniProt Q07097, used as the basis of this DisProt record), excepting a single mutation (E410K).
