Distinctive features of the respiratory syncytial virus priming loop compared to other non-segmented negative strand RNA viruses.

De novo initiation by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases often requires a polymerase priming residue, located within a priming loop, to stabilize the initiating NTPs. Polymerase structures from three different non-segmented negative strand RNA virus (nsNSV) families revealed putative priming loops...
