A narnavirus-like element from the trypanosomatid protozoan parasite Leptomonas seymouri [PDF]
Genome sequences were determined for a novel RNA virus, Leptomonas seymouri Narna-like virus 1 (LepseyNLV1). A 2.9-kb segment encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), while a smaller 1.5-kb segment showed no database search matches.

A comparison of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases
Genome replication in picornaviruses is catalyzed by a virally encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, termed 3D. These viruses also use a small protein primer, named VPg, to initiate RNA replication. The recent explosion of structural information on picornaviral 3D polymerases has provided insights into the initiation of RNA synthesis and chain ...

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)

Inhibitors of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase NS5B
More than 20 years after the identification of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a novel human pathogen, the only approved treatment remains a combination of pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin.

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 ...

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 ...
