The L-A double-stranded RNA virus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae makes a gag-pol fusion protein by a -1 ribosomal frameshift. The pol amino acid sequence includes consensus patterns typical of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (EC 2.7.7.48) of (+) strand and double-stranded RNA viruses of animals and plants. We have carried out "alanine-scanning mutagenesis" of the region of L-A including the two most conserved polymerase motifs, SG...T...NT..N (. = any amino acid) and GDD. By constructing and analyzing 46 different mutations in and around the RNA polymerase consensus regions, we have precisely defined the extent of domains and specific residues essential for viral replication. Assuming that this highly conserved region has a common secondary structure among different viruses, we predict a largely beta-sheet structure.
