The determinants associated with zoonotic potential of influenza A viruses: BTN3A3 evasion mediated by residue mutation in the nucleoprotein

Abstract

Mutation of residue 313 in the viral nucleoprotein from F/L to Y/V (or substitutions to N, H, or Q in the nucleoprotein residue 52 adjacent to residue 313) facilitates IAVs to escape from BTN3A3 restriction on virus replication.
