Protein detail:


Protein name Polymerase
Uniprot protein ID P28887
Protein length 2165 amino acids
Protein description The core polymerase in RSV is composed of two proteins, a 250 kDa polymerase subunit (L), which contains the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, the polyribonucleotidyl transferase (PRNTase, capping), and the methyltransferase enzymatic domains essential for viral transcription and replication, and the 27 kDa phosphoprotein (P) accessory protein. . The L protein caps mRNA by a unique RNA-GDP polyribonucleotidyl transferase activity mapped to conserved region V (CRV). Methylation of the cap at the guanine-N-7 and ribose-2-O positions is catalyzed by a unique dual specificity methyltransferase activity that has been functionally mapped to region VI of the L protein.

Title The two amino acid substitutions in the L protein of cpts530/1009, a live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus candidate vaccine, are independent temperature-sensitive and attenuation mutations
Author K Juhasz, S S Whitehead, C A Boulanger, C Y Firestone, P L Collins
Evidence Subsequent analysis of infectious viruses recovered from the mutant cDNAs indicated that (i) the 1009 mutation indeed was a mutation and the level of temperature sensitivity specied by the 1009 mutation was less than that specied by the 530 mutation, (ii)
