ABSTRACT
In negative strand RNA viruses, ribonucleoproteins, not naked RNA, constitute the template used by the large protein endowed with polymerase activity for replicating and transcribing the viral genome. Here we give an overview of the structures and functions of the ribonucleoprotein from phleboviruses. The nucleocapsid monomer, which constitutes the basic structural unit, possesses a flexible arm allowing for a conformational switch between a closed monomeric state and the formation of a polymeric filamentous structure competent for viral RNA binding and encapsidation in the open state of N. The modes of N-N oligomerization as well as interactions with vRNA are described. Finally, recent advances in tomography open exciting perspectives for a more complete understanding of N-L interactions and the design of specific antiviral compounds.
