Virion vRNP is capable of synthesizing cRNA immediately following entry into the cell nucleus (Vreede, 2006). The PB1 subunit principally catalyzes extension (Nakagawa, 1996). However, cRNA does not accumulate until later in the infection process, possiby requiring NP and the trimeric polymerase for stabilization (Vreede, 2004). The vRNA template is released.
