N protein is synthesized in the cytosol of the host cell and then moves adjacent to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) membrane, where mature virions are assembled. The primary function of the SARS-CoV nucleocapsid (N) protein is to encapsulate the positive-strand 5'-capped genomic RNA into a nucleocapsid for export. Nucleocapsid formation is depends on multiple weak protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions (reviewed in Chang et al, 2014).
The SARS-CoV N protein has globular N-terminal and C-terminal domains separated by three intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) (Chang et al, 2006; Chang et al, 2009). N protein forms a weak dimer in the absence of RNA mediated by residues in the middle and C-terminal IDR (He et al, 2004a; Luo et al, 2006; Chang et al, 2005; Surjit et al, 2004; Yu et al, 2005; Chang et al, 2006; Chang et al, 2013; Surjit and Lal, 2008). Positive residues in the middle IDR are subject to phosphorylation, which may affect the function of N (Surjit et al, 2005; Peng et al, 2008).
Binding of the genomic RNA to one or a small number of N-N dimers may be the initiating event in nucleocapsid formation. Both the NTD and the CTD of N have been shown to have RNA-binding activity (Huang et al, 2004a; Huang et al, 2004b; Chen et al, 2007; Chang et al, 2009; Takeda et al, 2008), and the IDRs seem likely to also contribute (Chang et al, 2009). These initial binding events may nucleate nucleocapsid formation through further recruitment of N protein dimers (reviewed in Chang et al, 2014).
