Protein Domain : Inner layer core protein VP3, Orbivirus IPR002614

Type	Family
Description	This entry represents the inner layer core protein VP3 from Orbiviruses, a family of Reoviruses that have dsRNA genomes of 10-12 linear segments [ ]. Orbiviruses include Broadhaven virus (BRD), Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus and Bluetongue virus (BTV) []. The Orbivirus VP3 protein is part of the virus core and makes a 'subcore' shell made up of 120 copies of the 100K protein []. VP3 particles can also bind RNA and are fundamental in the early stages of viral core formation []. The structural core protein VP2 from BRD is similar to VP3 from BTV.
