Twenty amino acids at the C-terminus of PA-X are associated with increased influenza A virus replication and pathogenicity (2015)
Journal Article
Gao, H., Sun, Y., Liu, X., Sun, H., Hu, J., Wang, J., …He, Q. (2015). Twenty amino acids at the C-terminus of PA-X are associated with increased influenza A virus replication and pathogenicity. Journal of General Virology, 96(8), https://doi.org/10.1099/vir.0.000143

The PA-X protein, arising from ribosomal frameshift during PA translation, was recently discovered in influenza A virus (IAV). The C-terminal domain ‘X’ of PA-X proteins in IAVs can be classified as full-length (61 aa) or truncated (41 aa). In the ma...

The contribution of PA-X to the virulence of pandemic 2009 H1N1 and highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses (2015)
Journal Article
Gao, H., Sun, Y., Hu, J., Qi, L., Wang, J., Xiong, X., …Liu, J. (in press). The contribution of PA-X to the virulence of pandemic 2009 H1N1 and highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses. Scientific Reports, 5(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep08262

PA-X is a novel protein encoded by PA mRNA and is found to decrease the pathogenicity of pandemic 1918 H1N1 virus in mice. However, the importance of PA-X proteins in current epidemiologically important influenza A virus strains is not known. In this...
