Redefining NSP12 activity in SARS-CoV-2 and its regulation by NSP8 and NSP7 by Deepa Singh, Tushar Kushwaha, Rajkumar Kulandaisamy, Vikas Kumar, Kamal Baswal, Saras H. Tiwari, Arkadyuti Ghorai, Manoj Kumar, Saroj Kumar, Soumya De, Aparoy Polamarasetty, Deepak Sehgal, Madhumohan R. Katika, Suresh Gadde, Marceline Côté, Sarala R. Kayampeta, Mohan Babu Appaiahgari, Krishna K. Inampudi

“…We conclude that NSP7 and NSP8 together synergize to enhance the NSP12 activity, but antagonize when alone. These findings have implications for novel drug development, and compounds inhibiting NSP7 or NSP8 interactions with NSP12 can be lethal to coronavirus replication.…”
