#Replication #Restriction of #Influenza #H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b Viruses by #Human Immune Factor, 2023–24, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31/1/24-1236_article

We show that human myxovirus resistance protein 1 (MxA) suppresses replication of influenza H5N1 viruses isolated from #mammals in vitro and in MxA-transgenic mice. However, H5N1 can evade MxA restriction through replacement of individual viral #polymerase complex components from a human-adapted MxA-resistant strain in vitro.

#VirID: Beyond Virus #Discovery - An Integrated #Platform for Comprehensive #RNA #Virus Characterization, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.05.602175v2

We developed VirID, a #software tool specifically designed for discovery & characterization of RNA viruses from #metagenomic data. Basis of VirID is a comprehensive RNA-dependent RNA #polymerase (RdRP) database to enhance a workflow that includes RNA virus discovery, phylogenetic analysis, and phylogeny-based virus characterization.

A three-way #interface of the #Nipah virus phosphoprotein X-domain coordinates #polymerase movement along the viral genome, J Virol.: https://journals.asm.org/doi/abs/10.1128/jvi.00986-24?af=R

These results define a conserved molecular principle regulating #paramyxovirus polymerase dynamics and illuminate a promising druggable target for the structure-guided development of broad-spectrum polymerase inhibitors.

2 #aminoacid residues in N-terminal region of #polymerase acidic protein determine #virulence of Eurasian avian-like #H1N1 swine #influenza viruses in mice, J Virol.: https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/jvi.01293-24?af=R

We identified that 2 naturally occurring aa mutations in PA derived from #H1N1/2009 are crucial determinants of virulence of rEA H1N1 viruses & revealed differential mechanism by which these 2 mutations affect transcription & replication of vRNA.

Enhanced Diversifying #Selection on #Polymerase Genes in #H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b: A Key Driver of Altered #Species #Tropism and #Host Range Expansion, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.19.606826v1?rss=1

the polymerase genes #PB2, #PB1, and #PA exhibit significantly greater selection pressures in clade 2.3.4.4b than in all the earlier H5N1 virus clades. Polymerases play critical roles in influenza virus adaptation, including viral fitness, interspecies transmission, and virulence.

#Mechanism of Co-Transcriptional #Cap-Snatching by #Influenza #Polymerase, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.11.607481v1

Influenza virus #mRNA is stable and competent for nuclear export and translation because it re-ceives a 5′ cap(1) structure in a process called cap-snatching1. During cap-snatching, the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (FluPol) binds to host RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and the emerging transcript.

#Synergistic activity of an #RNA #polymerase PA-PB1 interaction #inhibitor with #oseltamivir vs #human & avian #influenza viruses in #cell culture & in ovo, Antiviral Res.: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016635422400189X?via%3Dihub

The PA-PB1 interaction inhibitor '54' acts synergistically with oseltamivir vs influenza A & B. '54' & oseltamivir combined at low doses inhibit viral progeny production & proteins expression in cell culture. 54 inhibits avian influenza replication both in cell culture & in embryonated chicken eggs.
