Protein Domain : Vesivirus VP2

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.
