Crystal structure of a tick-borne flavivirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase suggests a host adaptation hotspot in RNA viruses
15 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) encoded by RNA viruses represent a unique class of nucleic acid polymerases. RdRPs are essential in virus life cycle due to their central role in viral genome replication/transcription processes. However, their contribution in host adaption has not been well documented. By solving the RdRP crystal structure of the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), a tick-borne...
