Primary Identifier | IPR007996 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Vesivirus_VP2 |
description | This family consists of several Calicivirus VP2 proteins []. VP2 is a minor capsid protein encoded by all caliciviruses. It forms a large portal-like assembly at a unique three-fold axis of symmetry, following receptor engagement. This assembly-which was not detected in undecorated virions-is formed of twelve copies of VP2, arranged with their hydrophobic N terminus pointing away from the virion surface. |
