The murine norovirus core subgenomic RNA promoter consists of a stable stem-loop that can direct accurate initiation of RNA synthesis. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: All members of the Caliciviridae family of viruses produce a subgenomic RNA during infection. The subgenomic RNA typically encodes only the major and minor capsid proteins, but in murine norovirus (MNV), the subgenomic RNA also encodes the ...

Nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of an ophiovirus associated with lettuce big-vein disease [PDF]
The complete nucleotide sequence of an ophiovirus associated with lettuce big-vein disease has been elucidated. The genome consisted of four RNA molecules of approximately 7ò8, 1ò7, 1ò5 and 1ò4 kb.

Inhibitors of an RNA‐dependent DNA polymerase [PDF]
Much interest of late has centered around RNAdirected DNA synthesis. Initially, with the finding of an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase in oncogenic RNA viruses [l-S] and what was described as the exclusive presence of the polymerase in acute leukemia cells as opposed to ‘normal’ cells [6] , speculation as to a molecular basis for leukemogenesis and a ...

Biochemical characterization of the fidelity of poliovirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
Background Putative high mutation rates of RNA viruses are believed to mediate undesirable phenomena, such as emergence of drug resistance. However, very little is known about biochemical fidelity rates for viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases.

Structure-activity relationships of fluorene compounds inhibiting HCV variants [PDF]
Approximately 71 million people suffer from hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection worldwide. Persistent HCV infection causes liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, resulting in approximately 400,000 deaths ...

Mechanistic insights into the transcriptional arrest in the presence of Double Strand Breaks [PDF]
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur frequently in the genome during genome replication or by DNA damaging agents. DNA lesions affect fundamental DNA-dependent nuclear processes, such as replication and transcription.

Functional Importance of the Hydrophobic Residue 362 in Influenza A PB1 Subunit
PB1, acting as the catalytic subunit of the influenza polymerase, has numerous sequentially and structurally conserved regions. It has been observed that the slight modification of residues in PB1 would greatly affect the polymerase activity and even ...

RNA-dependent RNA polymerases of dsRNA bacteriophages
Genome replication and transcription of riboviruses are catalyzed by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP). RdRPs are normally associated with other virus- or/and host-encoded proteins that modulate RNA polymerization activity and template specificity. The polymerase complex of double-stranded dsRNA viruses is a large icosahedral particle (inner core)
