From: Structural comparisons of the nucleoprotein from three negative strand RNA virus families
The RNA binding cavity of the VSV N protein (red) with highlighting the positively charged residues that interact with the RNA. For comparison, the similar region in the BDV N protein (cyan) was presented. Positively charged residues that could potentially interact with the RNA are also highlighted in the BDV N structure. The sidechain of Arg297 in the BDV N structure was disordered in the crystal structure (not shown in this figure).
