[h=3]Abstract[/h] The ANP32A is responsible for mammalian-restricted influenza virus polymerase activity. However, the mechanism of ANP32A modulation of polymerase activity remains poorly understood. Here, we report that chicken ANP32A (chANP32A) -X1 and -X2 stimulated mammalian-restricted PB2 627E polymerase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Distinct effects of ANP32A constructs suggested that the [SUP]180[/SUP]VK[SUP]181[/SUP] residues within chANP32A-X1 are necessary but not sufficient to stimulate PB2 627E polymerase activity. The PB2 N567D, T598V, A613V or F636L mutations promoted PB2 627E polymerase activity and chANP32A-X1 showed additive effects, providing further support that species-specific regulation of ANP32A might be only relevant with the PB2 E627K mutation. Rescue of cycloheximide-mediated inhibition showed that ANP32A is species-specific for modulation of vRNA but not mRNA and cRNA, demonstrating chANP32A-X1 compensated for defective cRNPs produced by PB2 627E virus in mammalian cells. The promoter mutations of cRNA enhanced the restriction of PB2 627E polymerase in mammalian cells, which could be restored by chANP32A-X1, indicating that ANP32A is likely to regulate the interaction of viral polymerase with RNA promoter. Coimmunoprecipitation showed that ANP32A did not affect the primary cRNPs assembly. We propose a model that chANP32A-X1 regulates PB2 627E polymerase for suitable interaction with cRNA promoter for vRNA replication.
