Key result
NMR structures of the Mengovirus Leader protein in complex with RanGTPase reveal it binds the RanBP1 site, exposing its zinc finger and phosphorylation sites to potentially recruit exportins.

Structural details of viral RanBP1 mimicry identified; leaves open relevance to cardiovirus myocarditis or antiviral targeting.
The NMR structures of Mengovirus Leader protein and its complex with RanGTPase reveal the structural basis for how the viral protein perverts host nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.
Bacot‐Davis et al. (2014) studied Cardiovirus infection. Mengovirus Leader protein (LM) was evaluated on NMR solution structures of LM, its phosphorylated derivatives, and Ran:LM0P complex. NMR structures of the Mengovirus Leader protein in complex with RanGTPase reveal it binds the RanBP1 site, exposing its zinc finger and phosphorylation sites to potentially recruit exportins.
