Mechanism of influenza A virus NS1 protein interaction with the p85beta, but not the p85alpha, subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and up-regulation of PI3K activity.

Abstract excerpt

Influenza A virus infection activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway by binding influenza A virus NS1 protein to the p85beta regulatory subunit of PI3K. In this study, we report that NS1 binds to the inter-SH2 (iSH2) domain of p85beta. Mutational analyses on p85beta iSH2 domain defined that Val-573 is the critical amino acid (AA) that mediates NS1 and p85beta interaction. In reciprocal gain...
