General annotation (Comments)

Function	Forms an icosahedral capsid with a T=7 symmetry and a 50 nm diameter. The capsid is composed of 72 pentamers linked to each other by disulfide bonds and associated with VP2 or VP3 proteins. Interacts with gangliosides GT1b and GD1b containing terminal alpha(2-8)-linked sialic acids on the cell surface to provide virion attachment to target cell. In late phase of infection, neo-synthesized VP1 encapsulates replicated genomic DNA in the nucleus, and participates in rearranging nucleosomes around the viral DNA By similarity.
Subunit structure	Homomultimer; disulfide-linked. The virus capsid is composed of 72 icosahedral units, each one composed of five disulfide-linked copies of VP1. Interacts with minor capsid proteins VP2 and VP3 By similarity.
Subcellular location	Virion. Host nucleus By similarity.
Domain	The N-terminal region contains a nuclear signal but the presence of VP2 and VP3 proteins is required for efficient nuclear transport By similarity. The intrinsically disordered C-terminal region interacts with neighboring pentamers. The unstructured nature of this region allows to make different interactions depending on the stuctural context: pentamers present at the 12 icosahedral fivefold axes bind five pentamers, when pentamers present at the 60 icosahedral six-fold axes interacts with six pentamers By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the polyomaviruses coat protein VP1 family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 5 isoforms produced by alternative splicing and alternative initiation. [Align] [Select]

Isoform VP1 (identifier: P14996-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

Note: Produced by alternative splicing of the late transcripts.

Isoform VP2 (identifier: P14997-1)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P14997-1.
Isoforms of the same protein are often annotated in two different entries if their sequences differ significantly.

Note: Produced by alternative splicing of the late transcripts.

Isoform VP3 (identifier: P14997-2)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P14997-2.
Isoforms of the same protein are often annotated in two different entries if their sequences differ significantly.

Note: Produced by alternative initiation at Met-120 of isoform VP2.

Isoform VP4 (identifier: P14997-3)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P14997-3.
Isoforms of the same protein are often annotated in two different entries if their sequences differ significantly.

Note: Produced by alternative initiation at Met-229 of isoform VP2.

Isoform Agno (identifier: P14998-1)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P14998-1.
Isoforms of the same protein are often annotated in two different entries if their sequences differ significantly.

Note: Produced by alternative initiation of the late mRNA leader region.
