Abstract excerpt
Influenza RNA polymerase is composed of three subunits, PA, PB1, and PB2, which interact with each other for transcription and replication of the viral RNA genome in the nucleus of infected cells. PB2 RNA-binding 627-domain (residues 535-693), located in the C-terminus, presents a highly basic surface around residue lysine 627 and has been proposed to interact with viral or cellular factors, resulting in host...
