Genetic Interactions among the West Nile Virus Methyltransferase, the RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase, and the 5′ Stem-Loop of Genomic RNA
1 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Flavivirus methyltransferase catalyzes both guanine N7 and ribose 2'-OH methylations of the viral RNA cap (GpppA-RNA-->m(7)GpppAm-RNA). The methyltransferase is physically linked to an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) in the flaviviral NS5 protein. Here, we report genetic interactions of West Nile virus (WNV) methyltransferase with the RdRp and the 5'-terminal stem-loop of viral genomic RNA. Genome-length...
