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.

Evidence 4 In another study, T97I substitution in the PA gene was found to play a role for transforming an avirulent avian H5N2 strain into a virulent virus after passaging in mice.
