PB1 uniquely harbors conserved motifs; leaves open selective antiviral targeting in respiratory infections.
The study provides experimental evidence that influenza virus PB1 possesses a similar polymerase module to other RNA viruses, with the core SDD sequence being critical for function.
Biswas et al. (1994) studied Influenza A virus infection. Mutational analysis of conserved motifs of PB1 was evaluated on Polymerase activity. Mutation in any of the four invariant amino acids of the conserved motifs of influenza A virus PB1 renders the protein nonfunctional, demonstrating their critical role in polymerase activity.
