| UniProt functional annotation for P31345 | |||
| UniProt code: P31345. |
| Organism: | Influenza A virus (strain A/Victoria/3/1975 H3N2). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Riboviria; Orthornavirae; Negarnaviricota; Polyploviricotina; Insthoviricetes; Articulavirales; Orthomyxoviridae; Alphainfluenzavirus. | |
| Function: | Plays an essential role in transcription initiation and cap- stealing mechanism, in which cellular capped pre-mRNAs are used to generate primers for viral transcription. Recognizes and binds the 7- methylguanosine-containing cap of the target pre-RNA which is subsequently cleaved after 10-13 nucleotides by the viral protein PA. Plays a role in the initiation of the viral genome replication and modulates the activity of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. In addition, participates in the inhibition of type I interferon induction through interaction with and inhibition of the host mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein MAVS. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04062}. | |
| Subunit: | Influenza RNA polymerase is composed of three subunits: PB1, PB2 and PA. Interacts (via N-terminus) with PB1 (via C-terminus). Interacts with nucleoprotein NP (via N-terminus). Interacts (via N- terminus) with host MAVS (via N-terminus); this interaction inhibits host innate immune response. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04062}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Virion {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04062}. Host nucleus {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04062}. Host mitochondrion {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04062}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the influenza viruses PB2 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04062}. | |
