The complex transcribes viral mRNAs by using a unique mechanism called cap-snatching. It consists in the hijacking and cleavage of host capped pre-mRNAs. These short capped RNAs are then used as primers for viral mRNAs. The PB2 subunit is responsible for the binding of the 5' cap of cellular pre-mRNAs which are subsequently cleaved after 10-13 nucleotides by the PA subunit that carries the endonuclease activity.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04063][SAAS:SAAS00956500] Publication Abstract from PubMed Replication of influenza viral RNA depends on at least two viral polymerases, a parental replicase and an encapsidase, and cellular factor ANP32. ANP32 comprises an LRR domain and a long C-terminal low complexity acidic region (LCAR). Here we present evidence suggesting that ANP32 is recruited to the replication complex as an electrostatic chaperone that stabilises the encapsidase moiety within apo-polymerase symmetric dimers that are distinct for influenza A and B polymerases. The ANP32 bound encapsidase, then forms the asymmetric replication complex with the replicase, which is embedded in a parental ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP). Cryo-EM structures reveal the architecture of the influenza A and B replication complexes and the likely trajectory of the nascent RNA product into the encapsidase. The cryo-EM map of the FluB replication complex shows extra density attributable to the ANP32 LCAR wrapping around and stabilising the apo-encapsidase conformation. These structures give new insight into the various mutations that adapt avian strain polymerases to use the distinct ANP32 in mammalian cells. Structures of influenza A and B replication complexes give insight into avian to human host adaptation and reveal a role of ANP32 as an electrostatic chaperone for the apo-polymerase.,Arragain B, Krischuns T, Pelosse M, Drncova P, Blackledge M, Naffakh N, Cusack S Nat Commun. 2024 Aug 19;15(1):6910. doi: 10.1038/s41467-024-51007-3.
