The closed “right hand” architecture of RdRPs encircles seven conserved structural motifs (A to G) that regulate the polymerization activity. The four palm motifs, arranged in the sequential order A to D, are common to all known template dependent polynucleotide polymerases, with motifs A and C containing the catalytic aspartic acid residues. Exceptions to this design have been reported in members of the Permutotetraviridae and Birnaviridae families of positive single stranded (+ss) and double-stranded (ds) RNA viruses, respectively. In these enzymes, motif C is located upstream of motif A, displaying a permuted C–A–B–D connectivity. Here we study the details of the replication elongation process in the non-canonical RdRP of the Thosea asigna virus (TaV), an insect virus from the Permutatetraviridae family. We report the X-ray structures of three replicative complexes of the TaV polymerase obtained with an RNA template-primer in the absence and in the presence of incoming rNTPs. The structures captured different replication events and allowed to define the critical interactions involved in: (i) the positioning of the acceptor base of the template strand, (ii) the positioning of the 3’-OH group of the primer nucleotide during RNA replication and (iii) the recognition and positioning of the incoming nucleotide. Structural comparisons unveiled a closure of the active site on the RNA template-primer binding, before rNTP entry. This conformational rearrangement that also includes the repositioning of the motif A aspartate for the catalytic reaction to take place is maintained on rNTP and metal ion binding and after nucleotide incorporation, before translocation. 000465271 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-6G3$$a6G3 - PETRA III (DESY) (POF4-6G3)$$cPOF4-6G3$$fPOF IV$$x0 000465271 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: bib-pubdb1.desy.de 000465271 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-H253)P-P13-20150101$$1EXP:(DE-H253)PETRAIII-20150101$$6EXP:(DE-H253)P-P13-20150101$$aPETRA III$$fPETRA Beamline P13$$x0 000465271 7001_ $$00000-0003-3636-8686$$aFalqui, Michela$$b1 000465271 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aVerdaguer, Nuria$$b2$$eCorresponding author 000465271 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2516098-9$$a10.3390/v13071260$$gVol. 13, no. 7, p. 1260 -$$n7$$p1260 $$tViruses$$v13$$x1999-4915$$y2021 000465271 8564_ $$uhttps://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/7/1260 000465271 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/465271/files/Snapshots%20of%20a%20Non%20Canonical%20RdRP%20in%20Action.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000465271 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/465271/files/Snapshots%20of%20a%20Non%20Canonical%20RdRP%20in%20Action.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000465271 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:465271$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000465271 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)235011-7$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1088259$$aEuropean Molecular Biology Laboratory$$b0$$kEMBL 000465271 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1088259$$aExternal Institute$$b0$$kExtern 000465271 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-6G3$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-6G0$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lGroßgeräte: Materie$$vPETRA III (DESY)$$x0 000465271 9141_ $$y2021 000465271 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bVIRUSES-BASEL : 2019$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0700$$2StatID$$aFees$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0561$$2StatID$$aArticle Processing Charges$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central$$d2021-05-04 000465271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2021-05-04 000465271 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)EMBL-User-20120814$$kEMBL-User$$lEMBL-User$$x0 000465271 980__ $$ajournal 000465271 980__ $$aVDB 000465271 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000465271 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)EMBL-User-20120814 000465271 9801_ $$aFullTexts
