Abstract The nucleoprotein NP of Marburg virus MARV is responsible for the encapsidation of viral genomic RNA and the formation of the helical nucleocapsid precursors that accumulate in intracellular inclusions in infected cells. To form the large helical MARV nucleocapsid NP needs to interact with itself and the viral proteins VP30 VP35 and L which are also part of the MARV nucleocapsid. In the present study a conserved coiled coil motif in the central part of MARV NP was shown to be an important element for the interactions of NP with itself and VP35 the viral polymerase cofactor. Additionally the coiled coil motif was essential for the formation
