Abstract excerpt
The large (L) protein of Sendai virus complexes with the phosphoprotein (P) to form the active RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The L protein is believed to be responsible for all of the catalytic activities of the polymerase associated with transcription and replication. Sequence alignment of the L proteins of negative-strand RNA viruses has revealed six conserved domains (I-VI) thought to be responsible for the...
