The Nucleoprotein of Newly Emerged H7N9 Influenza A Virus Harbors a Unique Motif Conferring Resistance to Antiviral Human MxA
11 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Interferon-induced Mx proteins show strong antiviral activity against influenza A viruses (IAVs). We recently demonstrated that the viral nucleoprotein (NP) determines resistance of seasonal and pandemic human influenza viruses to Mx, while avian isolates retain Mx sensitivity. We identified a surface-exposed cluster of amino acids in NP of pandemic A/BM/1/1918 (H1N1), comprising isoleucine-100,...
