Journal ArticleDOI

The cap-snatching endonuclease of influenza virus polymerase resides in the PA subunit

TL;DR: In this paper, the amino-terminal 209 residues of the PA subunit contain the active site of the endonuclease active site, which is shown to be strongly activated by manganese ions, matching observations reported for the intact trimeric polymerase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Structural Basis for CAP Binding by Influenza Virus Polymerase Subunit Pb2.

TL;DR: Binding and functional studies with point mutants confirm that the identified site is essential for cap binding in vitro and cap-dependent transcription in vivo by the trimeric polymerase complex, and will allow efficient structure-based design of new anti-influenza compounds inhibiting viral transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cooperative binding of two acetylation marks on a histone tail by a single bromodomain

TL;DR: A new mechanism for the combinatorial readout of histone modifications in which a single effector module engages two marks on a histone tail as a composite binding epitope is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural insight into cap-snatching and RNA synthesis by influenza polymerase

TL;DR: Crystal structures of bat influenza A and human influenza B polymerases (FluA and FluB), bound to the viral RNA promoter, are used to give mechanistic insight into these distinct processes.
