Evolutionary Dynamics of N-Glycosylation Sites of Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin

Abstract excerpt

The hemagglutinin protein of influenza virus bears several sites of N-linked asparagine glycosylation. The number and location of these sites varies with strain and substrain. The human H3 hemagglutinin has gained several glycosylation sites on the antigenically important globular head since its introduction to humans, presumably due to selection. Although there is abundant evidence that glycosylation can affect...
