title: Characterization of the P protein-binding domain on the 10-kilodalton protein of Borna disease virus.
abstract: The Borna disease virus (BDV) is the prototype member of the Bornaviridae, and it replicates in the cell nucleus. The BDV p24P and p40N proteins carry nuclear localization signals (NLS) and are found in the nuclei of infected cells. The BDV p10 protein does not have an NLS, but it binds with P and/or N and is translocated to the nucleus. Hence, p10 may play a role in the replication of BDV in the cell nucleus. Here, we show that the P-binding domain is located in the N terminus of p10 and that S(3) and L(16) are important for the interaction.
