Crystal Structure of a Birnavirus (IBDV) RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase VP1
Overview
Single-subunit polymerases are universally encoded in both cellular, organisms and viruses. Their three-dimensional structures have the shape, of a right-hand with the active site located in the palm region, which has, a topology similar to that of the RNA recognition motif (RRM) found in, many RNA-binding proteins. Considering that polymerases have well, conserved structures, it was surprising that the RNA-dependent RNA, polymerases from birnaviruses, a group of dsRNA viruses, have their, catalytic motifs arranged in a permuted order in sequence. Here we report, the 2.5 A structure of a birnavirus VP1 in which the polymerase palm, subdomain adopts a new active site topology that has not been previously, observed in other polymerases. In addition, the polymerase motif C of VP1, has the sequence of -ADN-, a highly unusual feature for RNA-dependent, polymerases. Through site-directed mutagenesis, we have shown that, changing the VP1 motif C from -ADN- to -GDD- results in a mutant with an, increased RNA synthesis activity. Our results indicate that the active, site topology of VP1 may represent a newly developed branch in polymerase, evolution, and that birnaviruses may have acquired the -ADN- mutation to, control their growth rate.
