Exploring new antiviral targets for influenza and COVID-19: Mapping promising hot spots in viral RNA polymerases

Ines Figueiredo-Nunes et al.

Summary: In this study, the authors analyzed the PB1 polymerase protein of Influenza A virus and the nsp12 polymerase protein of betacoronaviruses. They identified conserved druggable regions that could be potential targets for developing new polymerase inhibitors. They also mapped the interaction regions with favipiravir and molnupiravir. These findings are valuable for antiviral drug development.

Functional Importance of the Hydrophobic Residue 362 in Influenza A PB1 Subunit

Johnson Jor-Shing Chan et al.

Summary: PB1, as the catalytic subunit of the influenza polymerase, has conserved regions. A critical residue, 362M, on PB1 has been identified to affect polymerase activity and virus replication. Hydrophobicity and the size and charge of the side chain of PB1 362 were found to be important for polymerase function. A hydrophobic core between the PA-arch and the PB1 beta-hairpin motifs was proposed and shown to be important for polymerase function.

Mutational fitness landscape of human influenza H3N2 neuraminidase

Ruipeng Lei et al.

Summary: Influenza neuraminidase (NA) has different levels of tolerance to mutations, with antigenic regions showing high mutational tolerance and solvent-exposed regions showing low mutational tolerance. Protein stability is an important factor affecting the fitness of NA mutations. The study's findings on NA's evolutionary potential and biophysical constraints provide insights for NA-based vaccine design.

The ubiquitination landscape of the influenza A virus polymerase

Franziska Guenl et al.

Summary: The replication of influenza A virus relies on ubiquitination of the viral polymerase derived from host cells. This study reveals that site-specific ubiquitination of PB1-K578 is acquired during infection and regulates the dimerization of polymerase and the binding of NP. Mass spectrometry analysis has identified 59 modified lysines across the three subunits of the viral polymerase, which affect mRNA transcription, vRNA replication, and the generation of recombinant viruses via non-proteolytic mechanisms.

Mutual information networks reveal evolutionary relationships within the influenza A virus polymerase

Sarah Arcos et al.

Summary: The study uses mutual information (MI) to identify the evolutionary relationships among H3N2 polymerase sequences and develops a weighted mutual information (wMI) metric to address uneven sampling over time. By constructing wMI networks, coevolutionary relationships within the H3N2 polymerase are revealed, along with the distinction between functional relationships and those potentially caused by HA.

Viral RNA-binding ability conferred by SUMOylation at PB1 K612 of influenza A virus is essential for viral pathogenesis and transmission

Junping Li et al.

Summary: Our study demonstrates the vital role of PB1 K612 SUMOylation in the pathogenesis and transmission of IAVs, providing a potential target for anti-influenza therapies. The SUMOylation at K612 is crucial for PB1 to efficiently bind viral RNA, facilitating the transcription and replication of the viral genome.

Host-Adaptive Signatures of H3N2 Influenza Virus in Canine

Xueyun Li et al.

Summary: The study identified 54 canine-adaptive signatures in H3N2 CIVs and found that IAVs can establish persistent transmission more easily in lower mammals compared to higher mammals. Additionally, 25 common adaptation signatures of H3 IAVs were observed in diverse avian-mammals comparison.

PB1 S524G mutation of wild bird-origin H3N8 influenza A virus enhances virulence and fitness for transmission in mammals

Xinghai Zhang et al.

Summary: Influenza H3N8 viruses isolated from wild bird reservoirs have the potential to pose a threat to human health and show varied capabilities of binding to human-type receptors. Experimental studies on guinea pigs indicate efficient transmission of certain viruses without prior adaptation. Mutations such as PB1 S524G were found to confer airborne transmissibility between ferrets.
