Publication Abstract from PubMed The genomic RNA of Qbeta virus is replicated by Qbeta replicase, a template-dependent RNA polymerase complex. Qbeta replicase has an intrinsic template-independent RNA 3'-adenylation activity, which is required for efficient viral RNA amplification in the host cells. However, the mechanism of the template-independent 3'-adenylation of RNAs by Qbeta replicase has remained elusive. We determined the structure of a complex that includes Qbeta replicase, a template RNA, a growing RNA complementary to the template RNA, and ATP. The structure represents the terminal stage of RNA polymerization and reveals that the shape and size of the nucleotide-binding pocket becomes available for ATP accommodation after the 3'-penultimate template-dependent C-addition. The stacking interaction between the ATP and the neighboring Watson-Crick base pair, between the 5'-G in the template and the 3'-C in the growing RNA, contributes to the nucleotide specificity. Thus, the template for the template-independent 3'-adenylation by Qbeta replicase is the RNA and protein ribonucleoprotein complex.
