Structural insights into the substrate specificity of the endonuclease activity of the influenza virus cap-snatching mechanism
31 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
The endonuclease activity within the influenza virus cap-snatching process is a proven therapeutic target. The anti-influenza drug baloxavir is highly effective, but is associated with resistance mutations that threaten its clinical efficacy. The endonuclease resides within the N-terminal domain of the PA subunit (PAN) of the influenza RNA dependent RNA polymerase, and we report here complexes of PAN with RNA and...
