Abstract

Triple reassortant swine influenza viruses (SIVs) and 2009 pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) virus contain an avian-origin PB2 with 271A, 590S, 591R and 627E. To evaluate the role of PB2 271A, 590S and 591R in replication and virulence of SIV, single- (1930-TX98-PB2-271T), double- (1930-TX98-PB2-590A591A) and triple-mutated (1930-TX98-PB2-271T590A591A) viruses were generated in the background of the H1N1 A/swine/Iowa/15/30 (1930) virus with an avian-origin PB2 from the triple reassortant A/swine/Texas/4199-2/98 (TX98) virus, called the parental 1930-TX98-PB2. Compared to parental, single- and double-mutated viruses, the triple-mutated virus replicated less efficiently in cell cultures and was attenuated in mice. These results suggest that a combination of 271A with 590/591 SR polymorphism is critical for pH1N1 and triple reassortant SIVs for efficient replication and adaptation in mammals.
