Molecular Evolution of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Region in Norovirus Genogroup I
Viruses, 2023 Norovirus is the leading viral agent of gastroenteritis in humans. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is essential in the replication of norovirus RNA. Here, we present a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the norovirus GI RdRp gene.

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of tobacco plants [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1978 Several properties of RNA polymerase (nucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6) active fractions obtained from tobacco plants, be they uninfected, infected with tobacco mosaic virus, or infected with tobacco necrosis virus, were compared.

Fe-S cofactors in the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase are potential antiviral targets
Science, 2021 Mind your metals Iron–sulfur clusters are important cofactors for proteins involved in metabolism and electron transfer but are also sometimes found in enzymes involved in transcription and replication of DNA.

Structural bases of norovirus RNA dependent RNA polymerase inhibition by novel suramin-related compounds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Noroviruses (NV) are +ssRNA viruses responsible for severe gastroenteritis; no effective vaccines/antivirals are currently available. We previously identified Suramin (9) as a potent inhibitor of NV-RNA dependent RNA polymerase (NV-RdRp).

The potential chemical structure of anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase
Journal of Medical Virology, 2020 An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) occurred in Wuhan and it has rapidly spread to almost all parts of the world. For coronaviruses, RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is an important polymerase that catalyzes the replication of RNA from ...

Inspection on the Mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 Inhibition by Penciclovir: A Molecular Dynamic Study
Molecules, 2022 In recent years, humanity has had to face a critical pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2. In the rapid search for effective drugs against this RNA-positive virus, the repurposing of already existing nucleotide/nucleoside analogs able to stop RNA replication by ...

SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase as a therapeutic target for COVID-19
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents, 2021 Introduction: The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic urgently demands for both prevention and treatment strategies. RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRp), which has no counterpart in human cells, is an excellent target for drug development.

Ribovirus classification by a polymerase barcode sequence [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 RNA viruses encoding a polymerase gene (riboviruses) dominate the known eukaryotic virome. High-throughput sequencing is revealing a wealth of new riboviruses known only from sequence, precluding classification by traditional taxonomic methods.

alpha-helix E of Spo0A is required for sigma(A)- but not for sigma(H)-dependent promoter activation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2004 At the onset of endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis, the DNA binding protein Spo0A activates transcription from two types of promoters. The first type includes the spoIIG and spoIIE promoters, which are used by sigma(A)-RNA polymerase, whereas the ...
