General annotation (Comments)

Function

Isoform VP2 is a structural protein that resides within the core of the capsid surrounded by 72 VP1 pentamers. Participates in host cell receptor binding together with VP1. Following virus entry, VP2 and VP3 form oligomers and integrate into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Heterooligomer VP2-VP3 may create a viroporin for transporting the viral genome across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Plays a role in virion assembly within the nucleus in particular through a DNA-binding domain located in the C-terminal region. A N-terminal myristoylation suggests a scaffold function for virion assembly By similarity.

Isoform VP3 is a structural protein that resides within the core of the capsid surrounded by 72 VP1 pentamers. Following virus entry, VP2 and VP3 form oligomers and integrate into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Heterooligomer VP2-VP3 may create a viroporin for transporting the viral genome across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Isoform VP3 plays a role in virion assembly within the nucleus. May participate in host cell lysis when associated with VP4 By similarity.

Isoform VP4 is expressed after the late structural proteins and is not incorporated into the mature virion. May associate with VP3 to initiate host cell lysis and viral progeny release By similarity.

Subunit structure

Isoform VP2 forms homooligomers, and heterooligomers with VP3 in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Isoform VP2 interacts (via D1 domain) with VP1. Isoform VP3 interacts (via D1 domain) with VP1 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Isoform VP2: Virion. Host nucleus. Host endoplasmic reticulum. Host endoplasmic reticulum membrane By similarity.

Isoform VP3: Virion. Host nucleus. Host endoplasmic reticulum. Host endoplasmic reticulum membrane By similarity.

Isoform VP4: Host nucleus By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the polyomaviruses capsid protein VP2 family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 5 isoforms produced by alternative splicing and alternative initiation. [Align] [Select]
Isoform VP2 (identifier: P14997-1)

Also known as: Minor capsid protein VP2;

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 mRNA.
Isoform VP3 (identifier: P14997-2)

Also known as: Minor capsid protein VP3;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-119: Missing.
Note: Produced by alternative initiation at Met-120 of isoform VP2.
Isoform VP4 (identifier: P14997-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-228: Missing.
Note: Produced by alternative initiation at Met-228 of isoform VP2.
Isoform VP1 (identifier: P14996-1)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P14996-1.
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 mRNA.
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.
