Abstract
Influenza virus endonuclease activity was studied in vitro with model virion RNA (vRNA) and cRNA molecules. We show that endonuclease activity can be partially rescued by transplanting vRNA-like promoter features into the model cRNA promoter. This study defines three distinctive features within the vRNA promoter--absent in the cRNA promoter--that are required for endonuclease cleavage.Entities:
