Replication of influenza viral RNA depends on at least two viral polymerases, a parental replicase and an encapsidase, and cellular factor ANP32. ANP32 comprises an LRR domain and a long C-terminal low complexity acidic region (LCAR). Here we show that ANP32 is recruited to the replication complex (replicase-ANP32-encapsidase) by first acting as an electrostatic chaperone to stabilise the encapsidase moiety within apo-polymerase symmetric dimers that are distinct for influenza A and B polymerases. The encapsidase, with ANP32, then forms an asymmetric complex with the replicase. Cryo-EM structures of the influenza A and B replication complexes give new insight into the mutations known to adapt avian strain polymerases to use the distinct ANP32 in mammalian cells. The cryo-EM map of the FluPolB complex shows extra density attributable to the ANP32 LCAR wrapping around and stabilising the apo-encapsidase conformation. These results suggest a functional requirement for three polymerases for replication.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
