RNA viruses rely on the host-donated factors for replication and transcription of their genomic RNAs. In some RNA viruses, the virus-encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) forms a complex with host-donated translational factors. The formation of a complex between the virus-encoded RdRps and the host-donated translational factors is required for RNA replication and transcription of viral ge...
