Using virion vRNPs, together with purified proteins, we have, for the first time, recreated the switch from influenza virus transcription to replication, AND a full cycle of genome replication inside a test tube🧪@AmandaZihanZhu @haitian_fan @PLOSBiology

Ready for #NSV2022 after a cancelled flight led to an unexpected journey to Heathrow airport! ✈️ Excited to catch up with old friends and make some new ones!

Glad to see this out, congrats everyone!

Our NSP14 baby academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… is finally out today @NAR_Open. Can't thank @JeremyKeown1 @haitian_fan from @fodorlab and @jonathan_grimes lab, @SchofieldOxford , @ogileadi and McHugh lab enough for their support and hard work to get this to the finish line ❤️.

In a world where viruses, scientists and llamas co-exist…. happy to share our work in collaboration with Grimes' lab, on mapping inhibitory sites on the RNA polymerase of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus using nanobodies produced in llamas. Check it out!

Really happy to see this piece of work out. With @amandaz83411502 we structurally and functionally characterised 24 nanobodies against the 1918 influenza virus polymerase. @fodorlab @jonathan_grimes @OxfordStrubi @Dunn_School rdcu.be/cELs3

Just out today, our contribution to understanding #SARSCoV2! We show that the viral polymerase is involved in capping the viral RNA. With thanks to @fodorlab @haitian_fan @JeremyKeown1 @M_L_Knight @jonathan_grimes

It's Flu awareness week and @DiamondLightSou arranged for an animation of some of our recent work on the influenza polymerase. @CarriqueLoic @AlexWalkerPath @jonathan_grimes @fodorlab @StallerEcco @OxfordStrubi @Dunn_School
Diamond Light Source@DiamondLightSou
@WHO_Europe This animation with @UniofOxford explores how the flu virus interacts with our bodies. Knowing the structure and function of this stabilising protein will enable scientists to work on new treatments to fight the disease. @STFC_Matters @BBSRC @wellcometrust

Alex @AlexWalkerPath from @Dunn_School presents his work on SARS-CoV-2 RNA capping at @MicrobioSoc #Microbio21. See biorxiv.org/content/10.110… for details.

New preprint alert 🚨 Our latest SARS-CoV-2 work, showing that one of the domains in the viral RNA polymerase is an enzyme involved in viral RNA capping (and this reaction is inhibited by remdesivir TP)!

Another stunning talk from @AlexWalkerPath on how 'mutation of a Flu polymerase 3' RNA promoter binding site inhibit transcription elongation' was delievered! Great work! #IUM2020 #Influenza

We present the first structures of influenza virus polymerase bound to an essential host factor, and these give us some amazing insights into how the #flu virus replicates/adapts for new hosts! Congratulations everyone @CarriqueLoic @haitian_fan @JeremyKeown1 @jonathan_grimes
