Poxviruses use virus-encoded multisubunit RNA polymerases (vRNAPs) and RNA-processing factors to generate m7G-capped mRNAs in the host cytoplasm. In the accompanying paper, we report structures of core and complete vRNAP complexes of the prototypic Vaccinia poxvirus (Grimm et al., 2019; in this issue of Cell). Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of Vaccinia vRNAP in the form of a transcribing elongation complex and in the form of a co-transcriptional capping complex that contains the viral capping enzyme (CE). The trifunctional CE forms two mobile modules that bind the polymerase surface around the RNA exit tunnel. RNA extends from the vRNAP active site through this tunnel and into the active site of the CE triphosphatase. Structural comparisons suggest that growing RNA triggers large-scale rearrangements on the surface of the transcription machinery during the transition from transcription initiation to RNA capping and elongation. Our structures unravel the basis for synthesis and co-transcriptional modification of poxvirus RNA.

痘病毒转录的结构基础:转录和封闭牛痘复合体。

痘病毒使用病毒编码的多亚基RNA聚合酶(vRNAP)和RNA加工因子在宿主细胞质中产生m7G上限的mRNA。在随附的论文中,我们报告了原型痘苗痘病毒的核心和完整vRNAP复合物的结构(Grimm等人,2019年;本期Cell)。在这里,我们以转录延伸复合物的形式以及包含病毒加帽酶(CE)的共转录加帽复合物的形式介绍牛痘vRNAP的低温电子显微镜(cryo-EM)结构。三功能CE形成两个可移动模块,可结合RNA出口通道周围的聚合酶表面。RNA从vRNAP活性位点穿过此通道延伸到CE三磷酸酶的活性位点。结构比较表明,从转录起始到RNA加帽和延伸的过渡过程中,不断增长的RNA会触发转录机制表面上的大规模重排。我们的结构揭示了痘病毒RNA合成和共转录修饰的基础。
