Crystal Structure of Coxsackievirus B3 3D <sup>pol</sup> Highlights the Functional Importance of Residue 5 in Picornavirus Polymerases
17 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
The crystal structure of the coxsackievirus B3 polymerase has been solved at 2.25-A resolution and is shown to be highly homologous to polymerases from poliovirus, rhinovirus, and foot-and-mouth disease viruses. Together, these structures highlight several conserved structural elements in picornaviral polymerases, including a proteolytic activation-dependent N-terminal structure that is essential for full...
