Sequence alignments suggested that other coronavirus N proteins might share the same structural organization based on intrinsic disorder predictor profiles and secondary structure predictions (Fig. 2) . noticed that effective binding to RNA by MHV N protein in host cells required the presence of both the NTD and CTD (Hurst et al., 2009) , suggesting that the NTD and CTD formed a single bipartite RNA interaction site, a feature to be reiterated in the final SARS-CoV RNP model. Structure of the SARS coronavirus nucleocapsid protein RNA-binding dimerization domain suggests a mechanism for helical packaging of viral RNA ./cache/cord-314833-6fue84x6.txt ./txt/cord-314833-6fue84x6.txt
