Fig. 1. Assembly of an active nsp12-nsp7-nsp8 RdRp complex and its inhibition by remdesivir.

Fig. 1

(A) Schematic diagram for the components of the RdRp complex, containing nsp12, nsp7, and nsp8. The polymerase motif (A to G) and the β hairpin specific to SARS-CoV-2 are highlighted. (B) Sequence of the RNA duplex with a 5′ U10 overhang as a template for primer extension and RdRp-RNA complex assembly. (C) The recombinant RdRp complex shows polymerase activity in vitro. The primer strand is labeled with fluorescence at the 5′ end. (D) Elongation of the partial RNA duplex by the purified RdRp complex and its inhibition by RTP.
