We examined the molecular basis of virulence of pandemic H1N1/09 influenza viruses by reverse genetics based on two H1N1/09 virus isolates (A/California/04/2009 [CA04] and A/swine/Shandong/731/2009 [SD731]) with contrasting pathogenicities in mice. We found that four amino acid mutations (P224S in the PA protein [PA-P224S], PB2-T588I, NA-V106I, and NS1-I123V) contributed to the lethal phenotype of SD731. In particular, the PA-P224S mutation when combined with PA-A70V in CA04 drastically reduced the virus's 50% mouse lethal dose (LD50), by almost 1,000-fold.
我们通过基于两个具有不同致病性的 H1N1/09 病毒分离株(A/加利福尼亚/04/2009 [CA04] 和 A/猪/山东/731/2009 [SD731])的反向遗传学研究了大流行性 H1N1/09 流感病毒的毒力分子基础。我们发现四个氨基酸突变(PA 蛋白中的 P224S [PA-P224S]、PB2-T588I、NA-V106I 和 NS1-I123V)导致了 SD731 的致死表型。特别是,当 CA04 中的 PA-P224S 突变与 PA-A70V 结合时,病毒的半数致死量(LD50)几乎降低了 1000 倍。
