Protein detail:


Protein name Polymerase
Uniprot protein ID P28887
Protein length 2165 amino acids
Protein description The core polymerase in RSV is composed of two proteins, a 250 kDa polymerase subunit (L), which contains the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, the polyribonucleotidyl transferase (PRNTase, capping), and the methyltransferase enzymatic domains essential for viral transcription and replication, and the 27 kDa phosphoprotein (P) accessory protein. . The L protein caps mRNA by a unique RNA-GDP polyribonucleotidyl transferase activity mapped to conserved region V (CRV). Methylation of the cap at the guanine-N-7 and ribose-2-O positions is catalyzed by a unique dual specificity methyltransferase activity that has been functionally mapped to region VI of the L protein.

Evidence Mutational analysis has also demonstrated that, although the Y1321N substitution moderately attenuates viral replication in a mouse model of infection, insertion of a negatively charged residue into this position (Y1321E) results in more dramatic attenuat
