Following infection, SARS-CoV-2’s leader protein nsp1 is the very first viral protein to be expressed. Interaction between SARS-CoV-2 nsp1 (purple), human ribosomal RNA (bright orange) and ribosomal proteins (mainly 40S, dark orange), with a highlight on nsp1’s KH motif (molecular representation in the zoomed-in view) mediating the interaction (PDB entry: 6ZOJ) Nsp1 takes over the […]
