چکیده

The viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) of influenza A virus is formed by virion RNA (vRNA), viral polymerase complex, and nucleoprotein (NP). The NP plays an important role in facilitating the replication and stabilization of viral RNA. To explore host factors that may be involved in the regulation of viral replication through interactions with NP, we conducted an immunoprecipitation experiment followed by mass spectrometry to identify NP-associated cellular proteins. Here, we demonstrate that NP can interact and colocalize with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2/B1 in mammalian cells and that the interaction may occur via direct binding to the glycine-rich domain (GRD) of hnRNP A2/B1. In addition, two residues in the tail loop of NP, F412 and R422, are required for the interaction of hnRNP A2/B1. Because the knockdown of hnRNP A2/B1 expression reduces viral RNP activity, hnRNP A2/B1 may act as a positive regulator in viral RNA synthesis of influenza A virus. More importantly, the findings in this research demonstrate that host proteins can regulate the replication of influenza A virus by interacting with NP.

Influenza virus recruits host protein kinase C to control assembly and activity of its replication machinery

Influenza virus expresses transcripts early in infection and transitions towards genome replication at later time points. This process requires de novo assembly of the viral replication machinery, large ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) composed of the viral polymerase, genomic RNA and oligomeric nucleoprotein (NP). Despite the central role of RNPs during infection, the factors dictating where...

Anti-influenza Activity of a Novel Polyoxometalate Derivative (POM-4960)

There are many effective chemothereutic agents used in influenza disease which some of them inhibit virus replication by interfering with FluV (influenza virus) viral binding or its penetration into cell membrane. A series of polyoxometalates compounds such as POM-523 and PM-504 have been synthesized and have showed inhibitory effects on viruses. In this study we examined anti influenza activit...
