Words similar to nucleocapsid

Example sentences for: nucleocapsid

How can you use “nucleocapsid” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

There are two genera of baculoviruses, the nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) in which many virions are occluded in large polyhedron-shaped occlusion bodies, and the granuloviruses (GVs) which normally occlude a single nucleocapsid per small granular occlusion body.
The problem is particularly acute for NNR viruses, which have large RNA genomes [ 8 9 ] . The 10-15 kb long RNA genomes of these viruses require specific sequences at the 5' and 3' termini for transcription and replication, and must be properly encapsidated by the nucleocapsid protein (N) in order to be recognized by the viral RdRP [ 15 16 ] . Thus, any recombinant technology must be able to faithfully reproduce these features of the genome.
Interestingly, when this precipitate was probed with a mixture of antibodies against all RSV proteins, in addition to P, the nucleocapsid protein N was detected (lane 7).
Together these proteins transcribe the genomic RNA wrapped with nucleocapsid protein N. It is only the N-RNA complex, and not the naked RNA, that serves as the functional template for the viral RdRP.
We speculate that the genomic and antigenomic RNA of NNR viruses escape the onslaught of dsRNA because they are tightly wrapped with the nucleocapsid protein N, which makes them inaccessible to the dsRNA and/or the RNAi silencing complex (RISC).
