Structural basis for therapeutic inhibition of influenza A polymerase PB2 subunit

Structural basis for therapeutic inhibition of influenza A polymerase PB2 subunit

Abstract Influenza virus uses a unique mechanism to initiate viral transcription named cap-snatching. The PB2 subunit of the viral heterotrimeric RNA polymerase binds the cap structure of cellular pre-mRNA to promote its cleavage by the PA subunit. The resulting 11–13 capped oligomer is used by the...
