A model for the dynamic assembly of the NSP7–NSP8 complex. The mixed populations of NSP7 monomer, NSP8 monomer, NSP8 dimer, NSP7–NSP8 heterodimer, and NSP7–NSP8 heterotetramer co-exist in solution. The population of NSP7–NSP8 heterodimer is transient due to coupled intermolecular interactions between interface I and interface II. In the presence of NSP12 and RNA, NSP7–NSP8 heterodimer and NSP8 monomer associate with NSP12 to form a functional RdRP complex.
