Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Rpb1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), is rapidly polyubiquitinated and degraded in response to DNA damage; this process is considered to be a “mechanism of last resort” employed by ...

Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on the resolved structure of the NiV polymerase L-P ...

During viral reproduction, the influenza polymerase (top left, in blue) scans along the ribonucleoprotein helix to produce messenger RNA. Credit: Science Like a camera-shy teenager, influenza’s ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.
