Publication Abstract from PubMed

The Nipah virus phosphoprotein, P, is multimeric and tethers the viral polymerase to the nucleocapsid. We present the crystal structure of the multimerization domain of Nipah P: a long, parallel, tetrameric, coiled coil with a small, alpha-helical cap structure. Across the paramyxoviruses, these domains share little sequence identity; yet retain similar length and structural organization, suggesting a common requirement for scaffolding or spatial organization of the functions of P in the virus life cycle.
