Abstract: Transcription and replication of the Nipah virus (NiV) are driven by the large protein (L) together with its essential co-factor phosphoprotein (P). L encodes all the viral enzymatic functions, ...Transcription and replication of the Nipah virus (NiV) are driven by the large protein (L) together with its essential co-factor phosphoprotein (P). L encodes all the viral enzymatic functions, including RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity, while the tetrameric P is multi-modular. Here, we investigate the molecular mechanism of the NiV polymerase and build tools for anti-NiV drug discovery. We analyze and compare multiple cryo-EM structures of both full-length and truncated NiV polymerases from the Malaysia and Bangladesh strains. We identify two conserved loops in the polyribonucleotidyltransferase (PRNTase) domain of L and the binding between RdRp-PRNTase and CD domains. To further assess the mechanism of NiV polymerase activity, we establish a highly sensitive radioactive-labeled RNA synthesis assay and identify a back-priming activity in the NiV polymerase as well as a fluorescence and luminescent-based non-radioactive polymerase assay to enable high-throughput screening for L protein inhibitors. The combination of structural analysis and the development of both high-sensitive and high-throughput biochemical assays will enable the identification of new direct-acting antiviral candidates for treating highly pathogenic henipaviruses.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
