Journal ArticleDOI
A unique cap(m7GpppXm)-dependent influenza virion endonuclease cleaves capped RNAs to generate the primers that initiate viral RNA transcription
TL;DR: It is shown that virions and purified viral cores contain a unique endonuclease that cleaves RNAs containing a 5' methylated cap structure preferentially at purine residues 10 to 14 nucleotides from the cap, generating fragments with 3'-terminal hydroxyl groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globin mRNAs are primers for the transcription of influenza viral RNA in vitro
TL;DR: It is proposed that the alpha-amanitin sensitivity of viral RNA transcription in vivo is explained by initiation by primer RNAs synthesized by the host cell, specifically by RNA polymerase II, thereby explaining thealpha-amanitized virus-specific proteins sensitivity in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are the 5′ ends of influenza viral mrnas synthesized in vivo donated by host mRNAs?
TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that host cell mRNAs serve as primers for viral RNA transcription in the infected cell, and that they donate their cap and 10–15 internal nucleotides, one of which is m 6 A, to the resulting viral mRNA molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of 5'-terminal cap of globin mRNA to influenza viral complementary RNA during transcription in vitro.
TL;DR: Direct evidence is presented that the 5'-terminal methylated cap of the globin mRNAs is transferred to viral complementary RNA (cRNA) during transcription of influenza viral RNA transcription in vitro catalyzed by the virion transcriptase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Both the 7-methyl and the 2'-O-methyl groups in the cap of mRNA strongly influence its ability to act as primer for influenza virus RNA transcription
TL;DR: The results indicate that the cap 1 structure found in all mammalian cellular mRNAs is more stringently required for priming influenza virus RNA transcription than for translation in cell-free systems.
