2000～2009年H1N1甲型流感病毒血凝素基因HA1的演变特征

Survey of the evolutionary characteristics of influenza H1N1 hemagglutinin gene HA1 in 2000-2009

目的研究2000～2009年世界各地不同物种的新型H1N1流感病毒HA1基因演变特征。方法从NCBI数据库下载所需序列,采用生物信息软件对其氨基酸序列进行基因特性分析以及构建种系发生树。结果病毒株HA1基因抗原决定簇和多个受体结合位点发生变异,并且新型病毒与猪H1N1流感病毒在大多数变异位点的氨基酸相同。结论新型毒株HA1基因可能由早期来自北美洲的H1N1猪流感病毒进化而来,在进化过程中,一些重要位点的变异导致HA1基因发生抗原性变异,从而导致流感的大爆发。

Objective To study the global evolutionary characteristics of hemagglutinin gene HA1 of influenza H1N1 infecting different species during 2000-2009. Methods The target sequences were downloaded from NCBI and analyzed using bioinformatic software to construct the phylogenetic tree. Results The HA1 amino acid sequences of influenza H1N1 contained four mutated antigenic sites and receptor-binding sites, and the novel influenza virus shared most of the mutated amino acid sites with swine H1N1 influenza virus. Conclusion The HA1 gene of novel influenza virus might originate from the early swine H1N1 influenza virus from North America, and in the evolutionary process, a number of important sites of HA1 gene mutated to result in the outbreak of influenza.
