Adaptation of viruses to their hosts can result in specialization and a restricted host range. Species-specific polymorphisms in the influenza virus polymerase restrict its host range during transmission from birds to mammals. ANP32A was recently identified as a cellular co-factor affecting polymerase adaption and activity. Avian influenza polymerases require ANP32A containing an insertion resulting from an exon duplication uniquely encoded in birds. Here we find that natural splice variants surrounding this exon create avian ANP32A proteins with distinct effects on polymerase activity. We demonstrate species-independent direct interactions between all ANP32A variants and the PB2 polymerase subunit. This interaction is enhanced in the presence of viral genomic RNA. In contrast, only avian ANP32A restored ribonucleoprotein complex assembly for a restricted polymerase by enhancing RNA synthesis. Our data suggest that ANP32A splicing variation among birds differentially affects viral replication, polymerase adaption, and the potential of avian hosts to be reservoirs.

View all literature mentionsOriginal SAMTOOLS package has been split into three separate repositories including Samtools, BCFtools and HTSlib. Samtools for manipulating next generation sequencing data used for reading, writing, editing, indexing,viewing nucleotide alignments in SAM,BAM,CRAM format. BCFtools used for reading, writing BCF2,VCF, gVCF files and calling, filtering, summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants. HTSlib used for reading, writing high throughput sequencing data.
