HEPATITIS C VIRUS RNA POLYMERASE IN COMPLEX WITH GTP AND MANGANESE
OverviewOverview
We report here the results of a systematic high-resolution X-ray, crystallographic analysis of complexes of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA, polymerase with ribonucleoside triphosphates (rNTPs) and divalent metal, ions. An unexpected observation revealed by this study is the existence of, a specific rGTP binding site in a shallow pocket at the molecular surface, of the enzyme, 30 A away from the catalytic site. This previously, unidentified rGTP pocket, which lies at the interface between fingers and, thumb, may be an allosteric regulatory site and could play a role in, allowing alternative interactions between the two domains during a, possible conformational change of the enzyme required for efficient, initiation. The electron density map at 1.7-A resolution clearly shows the, mode of ... [(full description)]
