Origin and Evolution of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2017 RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) are very ancient enzymes and are essential for all viruses with RNA genomes. We reconstruct the origin and evolution of this polymerase since the initial stages of the origin of life. The origin of the RdRp was traced

Molecular Evolution of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Region in Norovirus Genogroup I [PDF]
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.

Structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase P2 from the cystovirus φ8 [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe replication of RNA viruses relies on the activity of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps). Despite large variations in their genomic sequences, viral RdRps share a common architecture generally known as a closed right hand.

Identification of Benzothiophene-Derived Inhibitors of Flaviviruses by Targeting RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase [PDF]
VirusesFlaviviruses such as Dengue, West Nile, and Zika viruses are mosquito-borne RNA viruses that can cause serious diseases in humans. To develop effective drugs for treating these viruses’ infections, we create a new approach for developing common or shared

Pre-piRNA trimming safeguards piRNAs against erroneous targeting by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase [PDF]
Cell ReportsSummary: The Piwi/Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway protects genome integrity in animal germ lines. Maturation of piRNAs involves nucleolytic processing at both 5′ and 3′ ends.

Reticulocyte RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973 A cytoplasmic, microsomal bound RNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been purified 2500-fold from rabbit reticulocyte lysates. The synthesis of RNA with the purified enzyme is absolutely dependent on the addition of an RNA template. The best template is hemoglobin messenger RNA, while bacteriophage RNA and poly(A,G) are less active, and DNA is completely ...

The Rna-Dependent RNA Polymerase of the Influenza a Virus [PDF]
Future Virology, 2014 The influenza A virus causes a highly contagious respiratory disease that significantly impacts our economy and health. Its replication and transcription is catalyzed by the viral RNA polymerase. This enzyme is also crucial for the virus, because it is involved in the adaptation of zoonotic strains.
