Primary Identifier | IPR027403 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
Short Name | Delta_antigen_N |
description | This superfamily represents the N-terminal coiled coil domain of the delta antigen from the hepatitis D virus (HDV). The hepatitis delta antigen dimerises through this anti-parallel coiled coil domain. Dimers then associate further to form octamers through residues in the coiled-coil domain and residues C-terminal to this domain. This domain may play a role in binding the viral RNA []. |
