RNA-free and ribonucleoprotein-associated influenza virus polymerases directly bind the serine-5 phosphorylated carboxyl-terminal domain of host RNA polymerase II

Abstract:

Influenza viruses subvert the transcriptional machinery of their hosts to synthesise their own viral mRNA. Ongoing transcription by cellular RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is required for viral mRNA synthesis. By a process known as cap-snatching, the virus steals short 5ʹ capped RNA fragments from host capped RNAs and uses these to prime viral transcription. An interaction between the influenza A virus RNA polymerase and the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit of Pol II has been establis...
