Measles Virus N mRNA

**Semantic type:** Nucleic Acid, Nucleoside, or Nucleotide

**Definition:** An oligoribonucleotide (~1.7 kbp) transcribed by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from the measles virus N gene negative-sense RNA. This mRNA can be translated by host ribosomes to produce measles virus nucleoprotein, which is involved in viral encapsidation.

**Synonyms:** - Measles Virus N Protein mRNA - Measles Virus Nucleocapsid Protein mRNA - Measles Virus Nucleoprotein mRNA - N mRNA
