Protein detail:


Protein name Polymerase PA
Uniprot protein ID C3W5X6
Protein length 716 amino acids
Protein description PA Plays an essential role in viral RNA transcription and replication by forming the heterotrimeric polymerase complex together with PB1 and PB2 subunits. The complex transcribes viral mRNAs by using a unique mechanism called cap-snatching. It consists in the hijacking and cleavage of host capped pre-mRNAs. These short capped RNAs are then used as primers for viral mRNAs. The PB2 subunit is responsible for the binding of the 5' cap of cellular pre-mRNAs which are subsequently cleaved after 10-13 nucleotides by the PA subunit that carries the endonuclease activity.

Title Mutation S110L of H1N3 Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin: A Potent Determinant of Attenuation in the Mouse Model
Author Amelia Nieto,Jasmina Vasilijevic,Nuno Brito Santos,Noelia Zamarreno,Pablo Lopez
Evidence potential determinants of its high pathogenicity that were located in the polymerase subunits (PB2 A221T and PA D529N) and the hemagglutinin (HA S110L).
