Result: Figure 2 represents snapshot images obtained from the MD simulations for the WT and H274Y mutant NA-OTV complexes, showing the OTV binding site and the region adjacent to residue 274.
Result: Figure 3 shows the dRIN graphs for the WT and H274Y mutant NA complexed with OTV.
Result: Figure 4B indicates that the occupancy of ligand-residue interactions between the OTV and its surrounding residues, E119, D151, R152, and S246 decreased after H274Y mutation, whereas the occupancy of the OTV-Y406 interaction increased.
Result: Figure 4B shows the change in the occupancies of residues interacting with each of the WT and H274Y mutant
Result: dRIN of H274Y mutant NA.
Identification of H3N2 NA and PB1-F2 genetic variants and their association with disease symptoms during the 2014-15 influenza season.
Abstract: In human nasal epithelial cell cultures, a virus with the novel NAg+F2P genotype replicated less well compared with a virus with the parental genotype.
Abstract: Retrospective analyses of clinical data showed that NAg+F2P genotype viruses were associated with increased cough and shortness of breath in infected patients.
Abstract: The NA and PB1-F2 mutations were present in a subset of clade 3C.2a viruses (NAg+F2P), which dominated during the subsequent influenza seasons.
Abstract: The isolates were classified by HA clade and the presence of a new set of co-selected mutations in NA (a glycosylation site, NAg+) and PB1-F2 (H75P).

Molecular Characterization of Seasonal Influenza A and B from Hospitalized Patients in Thailand in 2018-2019.
Result: Additional amino acid substitutions were found at P99S, C123S, and S139C for segment NA, T285I for segment M, and V453A at the NP segment (Tables S7 and S8).
Result: Among these Thai strains, we found additional mutations at antigenic sites; S91R (Cb), S181T(Sa), and T202I (Sb) (Figure 2B).
Result: Determination of amino acid substitutions among the A/H1N1 isolates also revealed the mutation Q51K, F74S, G77R, V81A, I188T
Identification of a Permissive Secondary Mutation That Restores the Enzymatic Activity of Oseltamivir Resistance Mutation H275Y.
Abstract: The 2018 virus harbored amino acid mutations (I123V and N205S) in important functional sites; however, 108R and 189G were highly conserved between A/California/07/2009 and the 2018 variant.
Abstract: To better understand interactions between influenza viruses and the human innate immune system, we generated and rescued seasonal 2009 H1N1 IAV mutants expressing an NS1 protein harboring a dual mutation (R108K/G189D) at these conserved residues and then analyzed its biological characteristics.
Introduction: Here, we sequenced a seasonal 2009 H1N1 influenza virus isolated in 2018 and confirmed the presence of mutations I123V and N205S in important functional sites.
Introduction: However, the NS
Novel Clade 2.3.4.4b Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A H5N8 and H5N5 Viruses in Denmark, 2020.
Abstract: Genetic analyses of one of the H5N8 viruses revealed the presence of a substitution (PB2-M64T) that is highly conserved in human seasonal influenza A viruses.
Result: In addition, one of the H5N8 viruses (A/barnacle goose/Denmark/14139-3/2020) had a PB2-M64T amino acid substitution that is highly conserved in human influenza A H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2 viruses.
Result: The PB2-M64T substitution was not present in A/Astrakhan/3212/2020(H5N8) (EPI_ISL_1038924) virus detected in workers at a poultry farm in Russia on 12 December 2020.
Discussion: The genetic characterization revealed that one of the Danish H5N8 viruses contained a PB2-M64T substitution.
Bilobetin, a novel small molecule inhibitor targeting influenza virus polymerase acidic (PA) endonuclease was screened from plant extracts.
Abstract: Dose-dependent inhibition assay showed that Epimedii folium can effectivity inhibit the PAN and PAN-I38T with IC50 of 11.23 and 26.03 muM, respectively.
Abstract: In 45 kinds of plant extracts, eight can effectively inhibit the PAN and PAN-I38T mutant in the primary screening.
Abstract: folium were virtually screened using the in silico method, and the compounds ginkgetin and bilobetin bind to the active pocket of PAN and PAN-I38T with a strong interaction force.
Cell culture-based production and in vivo characterization of purely clonal defective interfering influenza virus particles.
Abstract: An NA-N293/294S substitution was not present in sequences from the GISAID database.
Abstract: Fewer than 1% of analyzed viruses had amino acid substitutions associated with reduced susceptibility to baloxavir (PA-E199G, PA-E199E/G) or reduced or highly reduced inhibition by neuraminidase inhibitors (NA-R150/152K, NA-I221/222M, NA-I221/222I/M, NA-I221/222V, NA-H275Y.
Abstract: Co-occurrence of the mutations D222G and D222N was detected in a substantial number of the studied fatal cases (41%).
Abstract: The D222G/N mutations in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of A(H1N1)pdm09 are associated with severe and fatal human influenza cases.
Abstract: The D222G/N mutations were detected at a low frequency (less than 1%) in the rest of the studied samples from fatal and nonfatal cases of influenza.
Abstract: The high rate of occurrence of HA D222G/N mutations in A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, their increased ability to replicate in the LRT and their association with fatal outcomes points to the importance of monitor
