DESCRIPTION

Also known as CAPSD_TPCTV, V1. Encapsidates the viral genome into characteristic twinned ('geminate') particles. Binds the genomic viral ssDNA and shuttles it into and out of the cell nucleus. Plays a role in protection of the genome from degradation, virus acquisition and transmission by insect vectors, infectivity, and systemic movement. The CP of monopartite geminiviruses is absolutely essential for virus movement (By similarity). Homomultimer. Binds to single-stranded and double-stranded viral DNA. Interacts (via nuclear localization signal) with host importin alpha-1a (By similarity).
