Function
U3RC00_9DELA Binds strongly to viral nucleic acids and promote their aggregation. Also destabilizes the nucleic acids duplexes via highly structured zinc-binding motifs.[ARBA:ARBA00002374] Forms the spherical core of the virus that encapsulates the genomic RNA-nucleocapsid complex.[ARBA:ARBA00037500] Matrix protein.[ARBA:ARBA00003230] The matrix domain targets Gag, Gag-Pro and Gag-Pro-Pol polyproteins to the plasma membrane via a multipartite membrane binding signal, that includes its myristoylated N-terminus.[ARBA:ARBA00037194]
