Binding of P protein to N protein enables loading of the RNA-driven RNA polymerase (RdRP) complex to the ribonucleocapsid of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The RdRP complex consists of P protein (cofactor) and L protein (catalytic subunit). M2-1 protein, which acts as a processivity factor, is also associated with the RdRP complex. While some studies describe M2-1 as a constitutive subunit of the RdRP complex, other studies consider it to be an accessory subunit as the replication can proceed without it, albeit with reduced efficacy (reviewed in Fearns and Deval 2016). Residues 172-176 of the P protein, as well as the adjacent charged residues play an important role in the interaction with the N protein and efficient viral replication and transcription (Lu et al. 2002). The nine C-terminal amino acids of P protein may be sufficient for binding to the ribonucleocapsid (Tran et al. 2007; Shapiro et al. 2014). In particular, the C-terminal phenylalanine (F241) of P protein was shown to play an important role in anchoring P protein to N protein (Khodjoyan et al. 2022). Based on RNA-free assays, the N-terminus of P protein may also contribute to its binding to the N protein (Galloux et al. 2015). A hydrophobic pocket in the N-terminal core domain of the N protein acts as a P protein binding domain (Galloux et al. 2012). Viral proteins N, L, P, and M2-1, and the genomic RSV RNA form the RNA synthesis ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex (reviewed by Cao et al. 2021). This complex serves as a template for RNA replication, generating the (+) RNA antigenome and the (-) RNA genome, as well as for RNA transcription, producing capped and polyadenylated mRNAs.
