Typically, 15,384 nucleotides long and encodes for 9 proteins - nucleoprotein, phosphoprotein, matrix protein, fusion protein, small hydrophobic protein, HN protein and large protein.
Nucleoprotein - encapsidates the nascent viral RNA as it is being synthesized, forming a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex
-
-
M protein - assembling the RNP at the plasma membrane in regions containing the HN and F glycoproteins
-
V protein - a nonstructural protein that interferes both with induction of beta interferon (IFN-β) and with the interferon-mediated antiviral responses
