Structure of an escape mutant of glycoprotein N2 neuraminidase of influenza virus A/Tokyo/3/67 at 3 A

J Mol Biol. 1988 Mar 5;200(1):201-3. doi: 10.1016/0022-2836(88)90344-0.

Abstract

The three-dimensional structure of the membrane glycoprotein neuraminidase of an escape mutant of the influenza virus strain A/Tokyo/3/67 has been determined to 3 A (1 A = 0.1 nm) resolution by X-ray diffraction. The mutant virus, selected by growing the virus in the presence of a monoclonal antibody to the neuraminidase, is shown to have undergone a single amino acid change of lysine to glutamic acid at residue 368. The three-dimensional structure of the neuraminidase is identical with that reported for A/Tokyo/3/67, except for a purely local adjustment of the structure at position 368.
