Prevalence and mechanisms of evolutionary contingency in human influenza H3N2 neuraminidase
2022-02-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Neuraminidase (NA) of human influenza H3N2 virus has evolved rapidly and been accumulating mutations for more than half-century. However, biophysical constraints that govern the evolutionary trajectories of NA remain largely elusive. Here, we show that among 70 natural mutations that are present in the NA of a recent human H3N2 strain, >10% are deleterious for an ancestral strain. By mapping the...
