4. ••], establishes the unique structural fingertips motif in RdRps that connects the fingers and thumb domains, and thus restricts the movement of thumb domain relative to the fingers domain. Modeling of dsRNA into the template-binding channel indicates that movement of a β-hairpin is necessary to accommodate dsRNA.

The structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from bovine viral diarrhea virus establishes the role of GTP in de novo initiation. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101 (2004) 4425-4430. The BVDV polymerase structure complexed with GTP identifies a new GTP-binding site that is required for de novo initiation. A model of the template-primer-GTP complex indicates the role of GTP in stabilizing the initiation NTP.

This manuscript describes the deletion of a β-hairpin in hepatitis C virus polymerase that allows the polymerase to utilize a template-primer complex that the wild-type polymerase could not. Thus, the proposed role of the β-hairpin is to prevent binding of dsRNA and allow only ssRNA access to the active site during de novo initiation.
