Mutational analyses of the influenza A virus polymerase subunit PA reveal distinct functions related and unrelated to RNA polymerase activity.

Influenza A viral polymerase is a heterotrimeric complex that consists of PA, PB1, and PB2 subunits. We previously reported that a di-codon substitution mutation (G507A-R508A), denoted J10, in the C-terminal half of PA had no apparent effect on viral RNA synthesis but prevented infectious virus prod...
