G1-like M and PB2 genes are preferentially incorporated into H7N9 progeny virions during genetic reassortment
Tóm tắt
Genotype S H9N2 viruses have become predominant in poultry in China since 2010. These viruses frequently donate their whole internal gene segments to other emerging influenza A subtypes such as the novel H7N9, H5N6, and H10N8 viruses. We recently reported that the PB2 and M genes of the genotype S H9N2 virus, which are derived from the G1-like virus, enhance the fitness of H5Nx and H7N9 avian influenza viruses in chickens and mice. However, whether the G1-like PB2 and M genes are preferentially incorporated into progeny virions during virus reassortment remains unclear; whether the G1-like PB2 and M genes from different subtypes are differentially incorporated into new virion progeny remains unknown. We conducted a reassortment experiment with the use of a H7N9 virus as the backbone and found that G1-like M/PB2 genes were preferentially incorporated in progeny virions over F/98-like M/PB2 genes. Importantly, the preference varied among G1-like M/PB2 genes of different subtypes. When competing with F/98-like M/PB2 genes during reassortment, both the M and PB2 genes from the H7N9 virus GD15 showed an advantage, whereas only the PB2 gene from the H9N2 virus CZ73 and the M gene from the H9N2 virus AH320 displayed the advantage. Our findings highlight the preferential and variable advantages of H9N2-derived G1-like M and PB2 genes in incorporating them into H7N9 progeny virions over SH14-derived F/98-like M/PB2 genes.
