Studies on influenza A virus PB1-F2 protein [PDF]
The influenza A virus genome codes for up to 12 proteins. Segment 2 encodes three proteins, the polymerase subunit PB1, a small protein PB1-F2 and an N-terminally truncated version of PB1 called N40. Different functions have been reported for PB1-F2 such

Understanding the genetic changes that allow avian influenza A viruses (IAVs) to switch their natural hosts and establish productive infection in humans is important for pandemic risk assessment. Adaptations in the IAV polymerase are required to overcome

Intra- and interspecies transmission of H7N7 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus during the avian influenza epidemic in the Netherlands in 2003 [PDF]
The poultry epidemic of H7N7 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus in the Netherlands in 2003 was probably the result of the introduction of an H7N7 low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus (by interspecies transmission from wild birds) and ...

Oncolytic Effects of a Novel Influenza A Virus Expressing Interleukin-15 from the NS Reading Frame [PDF]
Oncolytic influenza A viruses with deleted NS1 gene (delNS1) replicate selectively in tumour cells with defective interferon response and/or activated Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway.

The human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 is necessary for the production of Group 2 influenza A virus pseudotypes [PDF]
The monomer of influenza haemagglutinin is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor that during maturation is cleaved by proteases into two active subunits. Other studies have demonstrated that the human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 (TMPRSS2) can

As all the enveloped viruses, the entry of influenza viruses includes a number of steps in host cell infection. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of the entry pathway and the role of the fusion protein of influenza virus, hemagglutinin, in this process.

The production and development of H7 Influenza virus pseudotypes for the study of humoral responses against avian viruses [PDF]
In recent years, high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus, H5N1, low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) virus, H9N2, and both HPAI and LPAI H7 viruses have proved devastating for the affected economies reliant on poultry industry, and have posed

ISGylation and phosphorylation : two protein posttranslational modifications that play important roles in influenza A virus replication [PDF]
textTwo posttranslational modifications, ISGylation and phosphorylation, impact the replication of influenza A virus, a human pathogen responsible for high mortality pandemics. The ubiquitin-like ISG15 protein is induced by type 1 interferon (IFN) and is

Functional domains of the influenza A virus PB2 protein:identification of NP- and PB1-binding sites [PDF]
Influenza virus genomic RNA segments are packaged into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) structures by the PB1, PB2, and PA subunits of an RNA polymerase and a single-strand RNA-binding nucleoprotein (NP).
