These "sliding poles" are stabilized by interactions formed between the positively charged residues at the extended N-terminal of nsp8 and bases in RNA backbones ( Fig. 3E ) and reported to account for the known processivity of the RdRp, which is required for replicating the long coronavirus genomes [39] . Although the sequence identity of nsp12 across the RNA viruses is low, the polymerase active site is structurally highly conserved, suggesting that RdRp inhibitors may serve as a potential J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f broad-spectrum antiviral drug against RNA viruses. ./cache/cord-290218-dvyeg5fk.txt ./txt/cord-290218-dvyeg5fk.txt
