Minimum molecular architectures for transcription and replication of the influenza virus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of influenza virus is composed of three viral P proteins (PB1, PB2, and PA) and involved in both transcription and replication of the RNA genome. The PB1 subunit plays a key role in both the assembly of three P protein subunits and the catalytic function of RNA polymerization. We have established a simultaneous expression system of three P proteins in various combinations using recombinant baculoviruses, and isolated the PA-PB1-PB2 ternary (3P) complex and two kinds of the binary (2P) complex, PA-PB1 and PB1-PB2. The affinity-purified 3P complex showed all of the catalytic properties characteristic of the transcriptase, including capped RNA-binding, capped RNA cleavage, model viral RNA binding, model viral RNA-directed RNA synthesis, and polyadenylation of newly synthesized RNA. The PB1-PB2 binary complex showed essentially the same catalytic properties as does the 3P complex, whereas the PA-PB1 complex catalyzed de novo initiation of RNA synthesis in the absence of primers. Taken together we propose that the catalytic specificity of PB1 subunit is modulated to the transcriptase by binding PB2 or the replicase by interaction with PA.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
