Computational analysis of the effect of polymerase acidic (PA) gene mutation F35L in the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus on binding aspects of mononucleotides in the endonuclease domain.

Abstract excerpt

An F35L mutation in the N-terminal domain of the polymerase acidic protein (PA-Nter), which contains the active site of the endonuclease, has been reported to result in higher polymerase activity in mouse-adapted strains of the 2009 pandemic influenza A H1N1 virus. We modeled wild and mutant complexes of uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) as the endonuclease substrate and performed molecular dynamics simulations. The...
