Protein detail:


Protein name Polymerase PB1
Uniprot protein ID C3W5X7
Protein length 757 amino acids
Protein description RNA-dependent RNA polymerase which is responsible for replication and transcription of virus RNA segments. The transcription of viral mRNAs occurs by a unique mechanism called cap-snatching. 5' methylated caps of cellular mRNAs are cleaved after 10-13 nucleotides by PA. In turn, these short capped RNAs are used as primers by PB1 for transcription of viral mRNAs. During virus replication, PB1 initiates RNA synthesis and copy vRNA into complementary RNA (cRNA) which in turn serves as a template for the production of more vRNAs

Evidence The strongest IFN induction was by the NS1stop virus, but the PB1 internal deletion and three of the point mutant viruses (PB1-D27N, PB1-T677A, and NS1-A122V) also induced IFN significantly more frequently than the wild type. The other three point mutants (PB1-G206S, PB1-K279R, and NS2-E47G) did not increase IFN induction, an unsurprising finding since we expected some mutations without an IFN-enhancing effect to be found in IFN+cells by chance.
