Structural Conservation and Assembly Plasticity of a Divergent Phenuivirus Nucleoprotein
Tick-borne phenuiviruses include a diverse set of emerging pathogens whose nucleoproteins (NPs) package viral RNA despite extensive sequence divergence across lineages. We examined the NP of Tacheng tick virus 2 (TcTV2), a highly divergent member of the genus Uukuvirus. Phylogenetic analysis of an expanded NP dataset s...
