Host- and Strain-Specific Regulation of Influenza Virus Polymerase Activity by Interacting Cellular Proteins
17 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (HPAI) viruses of the H5N1 subtype have recently emerged from avian zoonotic reservoirs to cause fatal human disease. Adaptation of HPAI virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (PB1, PB2, and PA proteins) and nucleoprotein (NP) to interactions with mammalian host proteins is thought to contribute to the efficiency of viral RNA synthesis and to disease severity. While...
