Abstract
Different subtypes of Influenza A viruses (IAVs) cause different pathogenic phenotypes after infecting human bodies. Analysis of the interactions between viral proteins and the host proteins may provide insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of the virus. In this paper, we found that the same proteins (Nucleoprotein and Neuraminidase) of H1N1 and H5N1 have different impacts on the NF-κB activation. By further examining the virus-host protein-protein interactions, we found that both NP and NA proteins of the H1N1 and H5N1 viruses target on different host proteins. These results indicate that different subtypes of influenza viruses target different human proteins and pathways leading to different pathogenic phenotypes.
