Accumulation of Amino Acid Substitutions Promotes Irreversible Structural Changes in the Hemagglutinin of Human Influenza AH3 Virus during Evolution
27 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
In order to clarify the effect of an accumulation of amino acid substitutions on the hemadsorption character of the influenza AH3 virus hemagglutinin (HA) protein, we introduced single-point amino acid changes into the HA1 domain of the HA proteins of influenza viruses isolated in 1968 (A/Aichi/2/68) and 1997 (A/Sydney/5/97) by using PCR-based random mutation or site-directed mutagenesis. These substitutions were...
