项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Influenza A virus (IAV) is an upper respiratory pathogen in humans that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Well known for its promiscuous host species tropism, IAV can infect waterfowl, domestic birds, swine, humans, and sea mammals. IAV strains endemic to waterfowl and domestic animals are capable of spontaneously crossing the species barrier, leading to outbreaks in other host species and even pandemics in humans. The ability of IAV to rapidly adapt to new environments is in part due to the inherent low fidelity of the encoded RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP); however, little is known as to how host RNA editing enzymes contribute to IAV evolution. We have recently identified ADAR1 as a host factor that is essential for optimal IAV replication and maintenance of viral population fitness during antiviral drug selection (oseltamivir). This proposal aims to determine how ADAR1 editing of the viral genome increases genetic diversity, drives evolution, promotes fitness, and contributes to species adaptation and tissue tropism. The knowledge gained from this research will allow us to (1) surveil for specific genetic polymorphisms in avian reservoirs that can potentially cross the species barrier, (2) identify genetic variants in seasonal strains that can render drug resistance, (3) understand how positive selection of host adaptive mutations arise during natural evolution, (4) determine how host factors influence viral species tropism, (5) further investigate the role of other editing enzymes n RNA virus evolution, and (6) develop host-targeted therapeutics to inhibit virus replication and adaptation.

描述（由申请人提供）：甲型流感病毒 (IAV) 是人类上呼吸道病原体，可引起季节性流行和散发性大流行，IAV 因其宿主物种混杂性而闻名，可感染水禽、家禽、猪、人类和动物。水禽和家畜特有的 IAV 病毒株能够自发地跨越物种屏障，导致其他宿主物种的爆发，甚至人类的流行病。 IAV 快速适应新环境的能力部分归因于编码的 RNA 依赖性 RNA 聚合酶 (RdRP) 固有的低保真度；然而，我们最近发现宿主 RNA 编辑酶如何促进 IAV 进化却知之甚少。 ADAR1 作为宿主因子，对于 IAV 最佳复制和抗病毒药物选择（奥司他韦）期间病毒群体适应性的维持至关重要。该提案旨在确定病毒基因组的 ADAR1 编辑如何增加遗传多样性、驱动进化、促进适应性。有助于物种适应和组织趋向性，从这项研究中获得的知识将使我们能够（1）监视可能跨越物种屏障的鸟类储存库中的特定遗传多态性，（2）识别季节性菌株中可以产生药物的遗传变异。抗性，(3) 了解自然进化过程中宿主适应性突变的正向选择是如何产生的，(4) 确定宿主因素如何影响病毒物种向性，(5) 进一步研究其他编辑酶在 RNA 病毒进化中的作用，以及 (6)发展抑制病毒复制和适应的宿主靶向治疗。
