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 The PB2-E627K Mutation Attenuates Viruses Containing the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic Polymerase
Author Brett W. Jagger,Matthew J. Memoli,Zong-Mei Sheng, a Li Qi,Rachel J. Hrabal,Genevieve L. Allen
Evidence Next, the impact of the PB2-E627K (CA09RNP-E627K) and D701N (CA09RNP-D701N) mutations on viruses containing the 2009 pandemic RNP was assessed. Surprisingly, rather than increasing the growth of the CA09RNP virus, both of these mutant viruses grew to a 1- to 2-log-lower peak titer than the parental CA09RNP virus (P= 0.0058 and 0.0075, respectively).
