Evolution of the nucleotide sequence of influenza virus RNA segment 7 during drift of the H3N2 subtype

J Ortín et al. Gene. 1983 Aug.

Abstract

The complete genetic information contained in the influenza virus RNA segment 7 of the A/Bangkok/1/79 (H3N2) strain has been cloned by in vitro synthesis of the complementary dsDNA and its insertion into plasmid pBR322. The nucleotide sequence of the viral RNA segment has been determined from the cDNA insert. It is 1027 nucleotides long, and contains two open reading frames, as shown for other influenza virus strains. When compared with the previously published sequence for the A/Udorn/72 (H3N2) strain, 15 nucleotide exchanges are observed, most of them silent mutations, and only two causing amino acid changes in each of the M1 and M2 protein sequences.
