Structure of replicating SARS-CoV-2 polymerase
- H. S. Hillen, Goran Kokic, L. Farnung, C. Dienemann, Dimitry Tegunov, P. Cramer
- Biology
- 27 April 2020
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 uses an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) for the replication of its genome and the transcription of its genes. Here we present the cryo-electron microscopic structure of… Expand
Structural basis of mitochondrial transcription
- H. S. Hillen, D. Temiakov, P. Cramer
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
- 1 September 2018
The mitochondrial genome is transcribed by a single-subunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (mtRNAP) and its auxiliary factors. Structural studies have elucidated how mtRNAP cooperates with its… Expand
Structural Basis of Mitochondrial Transcription Initiation
- H. S. Hillen, Yaroslav I. Morozov, Azadeh Sarfallah, D. Temiakov, P. Cramer
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 16 November 2017
Transcription in human mitochondria is driven by a single-subunit, factor-dependent RNA polymerase (mtRNAP). Despite its critical role in both expression and replication of the mitochondrial genome,… Expand

The new coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) uses an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) for the replication of its genome and the transcription of its genes 1 – 3… Expand
Mechanism of Transcription Anti-termination in Human Mitochondria
- H. S. Hillen, Andrey V. Parshin, K. Agaronyan, Yaroslav I. Morozov, D. Temiakov
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 16 November 2017
In human mitochondria, transcription termination events at a G-quadruplex region near the replication origin are thought to drive replication of mtDNA by generation of an RNA primer. This process is… Expand
Structural Basis of Poxvirus Transcription: Transcribing and Capping Vaccinia Complexes
- H. S. Hillen, J. Bartuli, C. Grimm, C. Dienemann, P. Cramer
- Medicine, Biology
- Cell
- 12 December 2019
Poxviruses use virus-encoded multisubunit RNA polymerases (vRNAPs) and RNA-processing factors to generate m7G-capped mRNAs in the host cytoplasm. In the accompanying paper, we report structures of… Expand
Structural Basis of Poxvirus Transcription: Vaccinia RNA Polymerase Complexes
- C. Grimm, H. S. Hillen, K. Bedenk, J. Bartuli, U. Fischer
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 12 December 2019
Poxviruses encode a multisubunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (vRNAP) that carries out viral gene expression in the host cytoplasm. We report cryo-EM structures of core and complete vRNAP enzymes… Expand
Structural basis of human mitochondrial transcription initiation and processive elongation
- H. S. Hillen
- Chemistry
- 6 November 2017
In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria produce the vast majority of ATP, the universal energy currency of life. To do so, they maintain a highly reduced genome as well as the molecular machinery necessary… Expand
