Inspection on the Mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 Inhibition by Penciclovir: A Molecular Dynamic Study
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 ...

Generation and characterization of a recombinant Rift Valley fever virus expressing a V5 epitope-tagged RNA-dependent RNA polymerase [PDF]
The viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp; L protein) of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV; family Bunyaviridae) is a 238 kDa protein that is crucial for the life cycle of the virus, as it catalyses both transcription of viral mRNAs and replication of the

A splicing-dependent transcriptional checkpoint associated with prespliceosome formation [PDF]
There is good evidence for functional interactions between splicing and transcription in eukaryotes, but how and why these processes are coupled remain unknown.

RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase Assay for Hepatitis E Virus
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is essential for the replication of viral RNA for RNA viruses. It synthesizes the complementary strand of viral genomic RNA, which is used subsequently as a template to generate more copies of viral genome.

Ribovirus classification by a polymerase barcode sequence [PDF]
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.

Single-peptide DNA-dependent RNA polymerase homologous to multi-subunit RNA polymerase
Although all known RNA polymerases have multiple subunits, unrelated single-subunit polymerases have also been described. Here, the authors describe a single-subunit RNA polymerase from the SPβ prophage ofBacillus subtilis, which shares homology to multi-

Activation of influenza virus RNA polymerase by the 5' and 3' terminal duplex of genomic RNA [PDF]
The current model for influenza virus mRNA transcription involves the sequential interaction of the viral polymerase with the 5'- and 3'-ends of vRNA, with each RNA-protein interaction triggering a polymerase function necessary for cap-primed ...

PAPD5, a noncanonical poly(A) polymerase with an unusual RNA-binding motif [PDF]
PAPD5 is one of the seven members of the family of noncanonical poly(A) polymerases in human cells. PAPD5 was shown to polyadenylate aberrant pre-ribosomal RNAs in vivo, similar to degradation-mediating polyadenylation by the noncanonical poly(A ...
