The Val430Ile neuraminidase (NA) substitution, identified in influenza B virus isolates, impacts the catalytic 116Arg residue causing reduced susceptibility to NA inhibitors.
Abstract: As part of a 2015-2018 clinical trial of peramivir treatment for acute influenza infections in the elderly, an influenza B/Yamagata/16/1988-like isolate harbouring a Val430Ile neuraminidase (NA) substitution was recovered from a single patient.
Abstract: In NA inhibition assays, oseltamivir, zanamivir and peramivir IC50s of the Val430Ile isolate were 4-, 15- and 16-fold higher compared to a wild-type (WT) strain.
Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations suggested that Val430Ile impacts the NA binding through a mechanism involving the catalytic Arg116 residue.
Abstract: The Val430Ile mutant and the WT strain had comparable replication
