TLDR
The structure of the full-length NS5 protein, a key enzyme for the replication of flaviviruses that contains both a methyltransferase domain and an RNA dependent RNA polymerase domain, is reported at 3.1 Å resolution and suggests NS5 as a prime and ideal target for the design of pan-flavivirus inhibitors.

Structural analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 methyltransferase complex involved in RNA cap creation bound to sinefungin.

TL;DR: The authors provide the structure of nsp10-nsp16 with the panMTase inhibitor sinefungin and report that the development of MTase inhibitor therapies that target multiple coronoaviruses is feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural analysis of the putative SARS-CoV-2 primase complex.

TL;DR: Analysis of the surface electrostatic potential revealed a putative RNA binding site that is formed only within the heterotetramer of the SARS-CoV-2 putative primase composed of the nsp7 and nsp8 proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remdesivir triphosphate can efficiently inhibit the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from various flaviviruses.

TL;DR: The results show that remdesivir can efficiently inhibit RdRps from viruses causing severe illnesses such as Yellow fever, West Nile fever, Japanese and Tick-borne encephalitis, Zika and Dengue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zinc and Copper Ions Differentially Regulate Prion-Like Phase Separation Dynamics of Pan-Virus Nucleocapsid Biomolecular Condensates.

TL;DR: The analyses reveal that metal-coordinated virus NC protein PrLDs initiate LLPS that nucleate pan-virus assembly and contribute to their persistence as cell-free infectious aerosol droplets, representing an additional virus strategy impeding physiological and cellular antiviral responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of sofosbuvir activity and resistance profile against West Nile virus in vitro.

TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the antiviral activity of sofosbuvir against WNV as well as of selection of mutants in vitro.

A Mechanism for Initiating RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerization

TL;DR: The results provide a working model for the initiation of replication and transcription of double-stranded RNA viruses and flaviviruses and suggest a mechanism by which the incoming double-Stranded RNA is opened up to feed the template through to the active site, while the substrates enter by another route.
