Revised Manuscript Received March 13, 1995® abstract: Poliovirus RNA polymerase (3DP01) was cross-linked to [32P] ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) by reduction of oxidized NTP—protein complexes. Cross-linked complexes were digested with cyanogen bromide, and resulting peptides were fractionated by reverse-phase HPLC. 32P-Labeled peptides were purified bysecondary HPLC fractionation and/or additional digestion with endoproteinases Glu-C, TPCK—trypsin, or Asp-N followed by another HPLC fractionation. N-Terminal sequences of the major [32P]-peptides were determined, and approximate sizes of these peptides were obtained by SDS—polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two major NTP binding sites in 3Dpo1 were found. One site was between Asp-266 and Met-286; possible binding residues in this fragment were Lys-276, Lys-278, or Lys-283. A second binding site was between Ala-57 and Met-74 with Lys-61 or Lys-66 as possible binding residues. Alignment of these regions on the known structure of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase allowed us to predict the position of the downstream nucleotidebinding site in the conserved “fingers” subdomain present near the active site cleft of both RNA and DNA polymerases. The N-terminal nucleotide binding site is not contained within a region that is conserved among other polymerases.The synthesis of RNA from an RNA template is a unique biochemical reaction utilized by RNA virusesto replicate their genomes. The reaction is catalyzedby a class of enzymes, RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, whose biochemical mechanisms and structure—functionrelationships are not well understood. Recent progress in the structural analyses of other classes of polynucleotidepolymerases (DNA-dependent DNA or RNA polymerases; RNA-depend-ent DNA polymerase) has indicated that all of these enzymes share a limited resemblance to one another (Moras, 1993). Several structural elements have been identified that may account for RNA or DNA substrate specificity (Ollis et al., 1985; Kohlstaedt et al., 1992; Sousa et al., 1993; Delarue et al., 1990), and other conserved residues likely have rolesin catalytic activity. Available sequence information indicates that the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases will follow in this pattern (Pochet al., 1989).
