Encapsidates the genome in a ratio of 1 N per 6 ribonucleotides, protecting it from nucleases. The nucleocapsid (NC) has a helical structure. The encapsidated genomic RNA is termed the NC and serves as template for transcription and replication. During replication, encapsidation by N is coupled to RNA synthesis and all replicative products are resistant to nucleases. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa399-523 from canine distemper virus Nucleoprotein, fused to 6X His-Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Yeast.
