Abstract: PB2-
K526R interacts with
nuclear export protein and our results suggest that it contributes to enhance replication for certain influenza virus subtypes, particularly in combination with 627K.
Abstract: Here we show that mutation
PB2-
K526R is present in some human H7N9 influenza isolates, in nearly 80% of H5N1 human isolates from Indonesia and, in conjunction with
E627K, in almost all seasonal H3N2 viruses since 1970.
Introduction: Various
PB2 adaptation markers are identified among the H7N9 human isolates, and a
K526R substitution associated with other previously defined adaptive markers is detected in some human isolates.
