The N-terminal domain of the arenavirus L protein is an RNA endonuclease essential in mRNA transcription.

The N-terminal domain of the arenavirus L protein is an RNA endonuclease essential in mRNA transcription.

Arenaviridae synthesize viral mRNAs using short capped primers presumably acquired from cellular transcripts by a 'cap-snatching' mechanism. Here, we report the crystal structure and functional characterization of the N-terminal 196 residues (NL1) of the L protein from the prototypic arena...
