A Complicated Message: Identification of a Novel PB1-Related Protein Translated from Influenza A Virus Segment 2 mRNA

TL;DR: The influenza A virus proteome includes a 12th primary translation product that (similarly to PB1-F2) is nonessential for virus viability but whose loss, in particular genetic backgrounds, is detrimental to virus replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome packaging in influenza A virus

TL;DR: It is concluded that the vast majority of virions contain no more than eight segments and that a specific mechanism does indeed function to select one copy of each vRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of the influenza virus nucleoprotein with the cellular CRM1-mediated nuclear export pathway.

TL;DR: It is found that the drug leptomycin B (LMB), which specifically inactivates the cellular CRM1 polypeptide, caused nuclear retention of NP in virus-infected cells, indicating a role for theCRM1 nuclear export pathway in RNP egress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a novel splice variant form of the influenza A virus M2 ion channel with an antigenically distinct ectodomain.

TL;DR: In identifying a 14th influenza A polypeptide, the data reinforce the unexpectedly high coding capacity of the viral genome and have implications for virus evolution, as well as for understanding the role of M2 in the virus life cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Rab11- and Microtubule-Dependent Mechanism for Cytoplasmic Transport of Influenza A Virus Viral RNA

TL;DR: It is proposed that influenza virus RNPs are routed from the nucleus to the pericentriolar recycling endosome (RE), where they access a Rab11-dependent vesicular transport pathway to the cell periphery.
