Mechanism of Inhibition of Ebola Virus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase by Remdesivir

Viruses, 2019
Remdesivir (GS-5734) is a 1′-cyano-substituted adenosine nucleotide analogue prodrug that shows broad-spectrum antiviral activity against several RNA viruses. This compound is currently under clinical development for the treatment of Ebola virus disease (

Favipiravir (T-705), a broad spectrum inhibitor of viral RNA polymerase

Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences, 2017
Favipiravir (T-705; 6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-pyrazinecarboxamide) is an anti-viral agent that selectively and potently inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of RNA viruses.

RNA polymerase interactions and elongation rate

, 2018
We show that non-steric molecular interactions between RNA polymerase (RNAP) motors that move simultaneously on the same DNA track determine strongly the kinetics of transcription elongation.

Origin and Evolution of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase

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

Recent advances in the characterization of Crl, the unconventional activator of the stress sigma factor σS/RpoS

Biomolecular Concepts, 2016
The bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme is a multisubunit core enzyme associated with a σ factor that is required for promoter-specific transcription initiation. Besides a primary σ responsible for most of the gene expression during active growth,

A splicing-dependent transcriptional checkpoint associated with prespliceosome formation [PDF]

, 2014
There is good evidence for functional interactions between splicing and transcription in eukaryotes, but how and why these processes are coupled remain unknown.

In vitro Assessment of RNA Polymerase I Activity

Bio-Protocol, 2017
In eukaryotic cells transcriptional processes are carried out by three different RNA polymerases: RNA polymerase I which specifically transcribes ribosomal RNA (rRNA), RNA polymerase II which transcribes protein-coding genes to yield messenger RNAs ...

Structures of active Hantaan virus polymerase uncover the mechanisms of Hantaviridae genome replication

Nature Communications, 2023
Hantaviruses are causing life-threatening zoonotic infections in humans. Their tripartite negative-stranded RNA genome is replicated by the multi-functional viral RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
