Biochemical characterization of recombinant influenza A polymerase heterotrimer complex: Endonuclease activity and evaluation of inhibitors.

Influenza polymerase is a heterotrimer composed of polymerase acidic protein A (PA) and basic proteins 1 (PB1) and 2 (PB2). The endonuclease active site, located in the PA subunit, cleaves host mRNA to prime viral mRNA transcription, and is essential for viral replication. To date, the human influen...
