Interplay between influenza virus and the host RNA polymerase II transcriptional machinery
The influenza virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) cleaves the 5′ end of nascent capped host RNAs and uses the capped RNA fragment to prime viral transcription in a mechanism called ‘cap snatching’. Cap snatching requires an intimate association between influenza RdRP and cellular RNA polymeras...
