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 K480R mutation may have originated in pig influenza viruses, where it has been found more frequently than in human and avian virus PB1 proteins.
