2izn is a 5 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia phage MS2. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1gkw. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CAPSD_BPMS2 Self-assembles to form the T=3 icosahedral virus shell that protects the viral nucleic acid. Acts as a translational repressor by binding with high specificity to a single stem-loop structure in the genomic RNA that contains the initiation codon of the gene for the viral replicase. Involved in virus assembly through the interaction between a capsid protein dimer and the multiple packaging signals present in the RNA genome.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
