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 Of the 2969 A(H1N1)pdm09 sequences, 7 (0.2%) contained PA E23G (n=2), PA A37T/A polymorphism, PA I38L (n=2), PA I38M/I polymorphism or PA E199G substitutions (Table 4). The E23G and I38L variants were included in phenotypic baloxavir susceptibility analysis by the Atlanta CC and showed 6-9-fold reduced susceptibility to baloxavir
