Molecular mechanisms of reversion to the + (non-temperature-sensitive) phenotype of influenza A cold-adapted () virus strains Free

Abstract

A (non-temperature-sensitive, non-cold-adapted) revertant of the A/Leningrad/134/47/57 strain influenza virus [A/Leningrad/134/47/ts+18/1957(H2N2)], obtained in our previous study, lost phenotypic manifestation of mutations by the PB2, NP and NS genes, although, according to sequencing data, it acquired only two true reversions of a mutation in the PB2 and PB1 genes. Direct sequencing showed the appearance of 27 additional mutations (13 coding) in the genes encoding the PB2, PB1, PA, NP, M and NS proteins of the revertant, along with the above-mentioned two true reversions. We conjecture that some of these mutations suppressed phenotypic manifestation of mutations in the NS and NP genes.
