Structural basis of RNA polymerase inhibition by viral and host factors

Understanding the structural basis for the inhibition of archaeal eukaryotic-like RNA polymerases (RNAPs) during virus infection is of interest for drug design. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of apo Sulfolobus acidocaldarius RNAP and the RNAP complex structures with two regulatory...

Sumario:Understanding the structural basis for the inhibition of archaeal eukaryotic-like RNA polymerases (RNAPs) during virus infection is of interest for drug design. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of apo Sulfolobus acidocaldarius RNAP and the RNAP complex structures with two regulatory factors, RIP and TFS4 that inhibit transcription and discuss their inhibitory mechanisms.
