Unstable Polymerase-Nucleoprotein Interaction Is Not Responsible for Avian Influenza Virus Polymerase Restriction in Human Cells
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Avian-origin influenza virus polymerase activity can be dramatically increased in human cells with the PB2 E627K mutation. Previously, others have proposed that this mutation increases the stability of the viral ribonucleoprotein complex (vRNP) measured by the interaction between PB2 and NP. However, we demonstrate here that a variety of PB2 adaptive mutations, including E627K, do not enhance the stability of the...
