Protein detail:


Protein name Polymerase PB2
Uniprot protein ID C3W5X5
Protein length 759 amino acids
Protein description PB2 plays an essential role in transcription initiation and cap-stealing mechanism, in which cellular capped pre-mRNAs are used to generate primers for viral transcription. Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing cap of the target pre-RNA which is subsequently cleaved after 10-13 nucleotides by the viral protein PA. Plays a role in the initiation of the viral genome replication and modulates the activity of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex.

Title Identification of Influenza A Virus PB2 Residues Involved in Enhanced Polymerase Activity and Virus Growth in Mammalian Cells at Low Temperatures
Author Tsuyoshi Hayashi,Saintedym Wills,Kendra A. Bussey,Toru Takimoto
Evidence Using a reporter gene assay, we identified novel mutations, PB2 V661A and V683T/A684S, which are involved in enhanced Cal polymerase activity at low temperature.The PB2 T271A mutation, which we previously reported, also contributed to enhanced activity.
