A species-specific signature residue in the PB2 subunit of the bat influenza virus polymerase restricts viral RNA synthesis
2021-04-13
Abstract excerpt
Bat influenza A viruses (H17N10 and H18N11) are genetically distant from conventional influenza A viruses and replicates poorly in non-bat hosts species. However, the reason behind the lower replication fitness of these viruses are yet to be elucidated. In this work, we have identified species-specific signature residues, present in viral PB2 protein, which is a major determinant of polymerase fitness in human, av...
