The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase machinery is localized in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs), which are regarded as sites of viral RNA synthesis. The RSV transcription factor M2-1 is targeted to these IBs by interacting with the phosphoprotein, the main RNA polymerase cofactor. This interaction is mediated by the “core” domain of M2-1 (See Blondot et al., doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1002734). The structure of this domain was solved by NMR, and residues involved in the P-M2-1 interaction were revealed. Mutagenesis of these residues on M2-1 (labeled in green) excluded it from IBs where P is still localized (labeled in red).
