The enterovirus 71 (EV71) 3Dpol is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) that
plays the central role in the viral genome replication, and is an important
target in antiviral studies. Here, we report a crystal structure of EV71 3Dpol
elongation complex (EC) at 1.8 Å resolution. The structure reveals that the
5'-end guanosine of the downstream RNA template interacts with a fingers domain
pocket, with the base sandwiched by H44 and R277 side chains through hydrophobic
stacking interactions, and these interactions are still maintained after one
in-crystal translocation event induced by nucleotide incorporation, implying that
the pocket could regulate the functional properties of the polymerase by
interacting with RNA. When mutated, residue R277 showed an impact on virus
proliferation in virological studies with residue H44 having a synergistic
effect. In vitro biochemical data further suggest that mutations at these two
sites affect RNA binding, EC stability, but not polymerase catalytic rate (kcat)
and apparent NTP affinity (KM,NTP). We propose that, although rarely captured by
crystallography, similar surface pocket interaction with nucleobase may commonly
exist in nucleic acid motor enzymes to facilitate their processivity. Potential
applications in antiviral drug and vaccine development are also discussed.
