Abstract

Influenza A virus, a respiratory pathogen manipulates various host cellular processes to establish a successful infection in a host. We had reported earlier the interaction of influenza A virus nucleoprotein with host glycolytic enzymes; alpha enolase and pyruvate kinase in A549 cells. Matrix protein (M1), another multifunctional protein encoded by genome segment 7 forms the inner layer of the virion and interacts with the ribonucleoprotein complex. Nucleoprotein and matrix protein, major structural components of the virion together contribute to the stability of the capsid. Thus, we have investigated the interaction of viral matrix protein with host glycolytic enzymes; alpha enolase and pyruvate kinase. Results had demonstrated differential expression of these two glycolytic enzymes in response to matrix protein and their interaction with matrix protein by in vitro binding, co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization studies. Our results confirmed that viral matrix protein interacts with host glycolytic enzymes in association with viral nucleoprotein.

Keywords: Alpha enolase; Influenza A virus; Matrix protein; Nucleoprotein; Pyruvate kinase.
