Type: | Domain | Name: | Delta antigen, N-terminal domain |
Description: | This entry represents the N-terminal coiled coil domain of the delta antigen from the hepatitis D virus (HDV). The hepatitis delta antigen dimerises through this anti-parallel coiled coil domain. Dimers then associate further to form octamers through residues in the coiled-coil domain and residues C-terminal to this domain. This domain may play a role in binding the viral RNA []. | Short Name: | Delta_antigen_N |
