– Encapsidates the genome protecting it from nucleases. The encapsidated genomic RNA is termed the nucleocapsid (NC) and serves as template for transcription and replication. Seems to participate in the nuclear relocalization of host PABP1, thereby inhibiting host cellular translation. Bunyavirus La Crosse Nucleoprotein/NP Protein (His) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 28.5 kDa and the accession number is P04873.
