Background:
Viral Protein 1 (VP1), also known as Major Capsid Protein VP1, is the main component of the polyomavirus capsid. 360 VP1 molecules are organized in 72 pentamers to form the capsid. This protein also contains large unique regions that might be responsible for the characteristic properties observed in the Reoviridae family. Polyomaviruses have from five to seven proteins, including three capsid proteins, VP1, VP2, and VP3, and two proteins, T and t, which are involved in DNA replication.
Alternate Names:
viral protein 2; KRV-VP1/2; viral protein 1/2; viral protein 1; viral protein 2.
