Recently it has been shown by several laboratories that the influenza A virus nonstructural protein 1 (A/NS1) binds and activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). This function of the protein is likely to prevent premature apoptosis induction during viral propagation. Here we show that the B/NS1 protein completely lacks the capacity to induce PI3K signaling. Thus, PI3K activation is another unique function of A/NS1 that is different from the action of its influenza B virus counterpart.
最近,几个实验室已表明,甲型流感病毒非结构蛋白1(A/NS1)可结合并激活磷脂酰肌醇3激酶(PI3K)。该蛋白的这一功能可能会在病毒传播过程中防止过早诱导细胞凋亡。在此我们表明,B/NS1蛋白完全缺乏诱导PI3K信号传导的能力。因此,PI3K激活是A/NS1的另一个独特功能,与其乙型流感病毒对应物的作用不同。
