The temperature-sensitive mutant ts-1 of influenza virus A/WSN/33 carries mutations in the gene encoding RNA polymerase PB2 subunit. Effect of temperature on various steps of viral RNA synthesis was examined using disrupted virions of ts-1 mutant. The initiation of RNA synthesis with dinucleotide ApG primer was not affected by elevated temperature, whereas that with primer RNA containing 5'-terminal cap-1 structure was temperature-sensitive. The result supports the previous notion deduced from the UV-crosslinking experiments, that PB2 is involved in the cap-1 dependent initiation of RNA synthesis. In addition, the ts-1 mutant showed a defect in RNA chain elongation. Nucleotide sequence analysis of RNA segment 1 of ts-1 mutant revealed that the amino acid number 417 is essential for the recognition of cap-1 structures and/or the interaction with catalytic unit of the RNA polymerase.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
