Description
SARS-CoV-2 N Protein - Background Information
Coronavirus N protein is required for coronavirus RNA synthesis, and has RNA chaperone activity that may be involved in template switch. Nucleocapsid protein is a most abundant protein of coronavirus. N protein packages the positive strand viral genome RNA into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP) and plays a fundamental role during virion assembly through its interactions with the viral genome and membrane protein M. Plays an important role in enhancing the efficiency of subgenomic viral RNA transcription as well as viral replication. Because of the conservation of N protein sequence and its strong immunogenicity, the N protein of coronavirus is chosen as a diagnostic tool.

Nucleocapsid function
Packages the positive strand viral genome RNA into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP) and plays a fundamental role during virion assembly through its interactions with the viral genome and membrane protein M. Plays an important role in enhancing the efficiency of subgenomic viral RNA transcription as well as viral replication (PubMed:17210170). May modulate transforming growth factor-beta signaling by binding host SMAD3 (PubMed:18055455).
Sub-cellular location
- Located inside the virion, complexed with the viral RNA. Probably associates with ER-derived membranes where it participates in viral RNA synthesis and virus budding.
Post-Translational Modification
ADP-ribosylated. The ADP-ribosylation is retained in the virion during infection.
Phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues (By similarity). Phosphorylated by host GSK3A and GSK3B. Phosphorylation allows recruitment of host RNA helicase DDX1 which facilitates template readthrough and enables longer subgenomic mRNA synthesis.
Interaction
Homooligomer. Both monomeric and oligomeric forms interact with RNA.
Interacts with protein M (PubMed:15351485).
Interacts with protein E (PubMed:24766657). May bind to host HNRNPA1 (Probable).
Interacts with NSP3; this interaction serves to tether the genome to the newly translated replicase-transcriptase complex at a very early stage of infection (By similarity). May interact with host SMAD3 (Probable).
