The molecular basis of host range restriction of avian influenza virus polymerases in mammalian hosts
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Influenza A virus adaptation to humans is a rare but recurrent event that can result in a pandemic. The influenza polymerase, composed of the viral proteins PB1, PB2 and PA, is responsible for transcription and replication of the viral genome. Typical avian-origin influenza polymerases are restricted in human cells and polymerase subunit PB2 is particularly involved in this restriction. Residue 627 of PB2 is a glu...
